    Ainu Festival Procession in Hokkaido' from the Series 'Gennyo Shounin Hokkaidou' This original woodblock print dates to c1871. It depicts a busy scene with men gathering, as if in a procession. The upper class on the left, and those giving thanks on the right. It is not certain which festival this image represents. It bears multiple title cartouches, seals and publisher marks. This print has vibrant color, with great execution and detail. It measures 14 1/8" high by 9 1/2" wide. This print is in excellent condition, and appears to never have been tipped in a folder or framed. The paintings of the Ainu (indigenous Japanese) of Hokkaido and Sakhalin, focuses on everyday activities and yearly festivals. This was a popular subject in the latter half of the 19th century, before photography was introduced to Japan. They were produced by ukiyo-e artists and other popular artists of the day, but the latter did not usually sign their names. Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) was among the earliest to include scenes of Ainu in the background of his beauty prints. Most of the prints of Ainu produced were from copies or based on oral stories, but later artists such as Yoshimune Arai (1817-1880) actually went to Hokkaidou and observed their daily life. In 1871, Kuniteru actually went to Hokkaidou and observed their (Ainu) daily life. Kuniteru, Hiroshige and Eitaku together produced a set of eighteen prints which included several scenes of Ainu daily life entitled Gennyo Shounin Hokkaidou.
