- Echizen Jidai Gyoretsu (The Echizen Period Procession, Fukui) -

The superb silkscreen print 'Echizen Jidai Gyoretsu' (The Echizen Period Procession, Fukui) is by Masaaki Tanaka (b. 1947). This exquisite print beautifully captures the grandeur of the Echizen Period Procession—a beloved tradition and one of the highlights of the Fukui Spring Festival, held annually in early April in Fukui Prefecture. With remarkable detail and an enchanting sense of depth, this stunning print brings the scene vividly to life. The sheet number, Japanese title, and the artist’s signature are all hand-signed in the bottom margin.

In this historical procession, a total of 600 participants—including warriors from the Warring States period with ties to Fukui, such as Shibata Katsuie and Matsudaira Shungaku—bring the past to life. Alongside them, figures like the noble Oichi no Mikoto and samurai troops clad in traditional armor parade through the heart of the city, weaving history and pageantry into a breathtaking spectacle.
