盆踊り Bon odori

今日の一枚は、富士屋ホテルの版画の続き、英一蝶（はなぶさ いっちょう）の版画です。柳の枝が上から垂れ下がる大胆な構図は広重と似たところもあります。盆踊りということもありますが、英一蝶のは随分軽妙な絵だと思います。

One piece of today is a print of Fujiya Hotel again. This is the print which Iccho Hanabusa drew. The composition that the branch of the willow hangs down greatly from the top resembles the style of Hiroshige. Although he described the dance, but I think that the style of Iccho Hanabusa is very witty.

Bon odori is the dance to commemorate the dead in the middle of July. But there is no dark atmosphere at there and the people sing and dance cheerily.
