First edition Japanese Meiji Period woodblock print titled "Otsu Inari" from the series "The Calendar of Events in Edo Theater" by Adachi Ginko (1874-1897). Three editions of this series are known. This print is from the first edition and contains the publisher's information and date of Meiji 30 (1897) 7th month 10th day in the left margin and the artist's red seal at the lower right. This series is unusual in that it depicts various events backstage with the actors, views including the spectators, and various scenes around the interior of the theater itself. This image illustrates the Otsu Inari Shrine in the third floor dressing rooms of the theater. A description of the scene is in the white cartouche at the top. The series title is at the upper right. Paper: 14 1/8" x 9 3/4". Very good overall condition with excellent color. This print has never been framed or exposed to sunlight. It is not backed and the baren marks are clearly visible on the reverse. There are small losses to the paper edges and a few brown spots (which are fairly well hidden by the image). An example of this image can be found in the online collection of the British Museum.
