Since its implementation, it has been enjoyed not only by hotel guests but also by the general public as a place to experience the sensibilities and works of up-and-coming artists. Karasu Ishida will be the seventh artist. Mr. Uyu) started working as a senjafuda artist about five years ago after being approached by the third-generation woodblock engraver Yusuke Sekioka, and since then he has been active in his work, winning the Miyakoten Encouragement Award in 2019, being selected for the National Exhibition twice, and receiving the Adachi Ward Mayor’s Award and the Ward Assembly Chairman’s Award at the Adachi Ward Exhibition. The works on display this time are works that follow the traditional process of creating Nishiki-e from the Edo period, such as “Nasatsu Edo Santenno Festival” (2021) and “Food of Edo” (2024), which are vivid and give you a feel of the energy of Edo. It is the culmination of many years of experience and techniques: an artist draws a picture, an Edo calligraphy master writes the letters, a carver drills as many ink line blocks and colored plates as the number of colors on a hard cherry board, and a printer prints each piece on washi paper. Please take a look at our traditional woodblock prints. “Resol Hotels” will continue to weave irreplaceable travel “stories” through hotel operations that thoroughly meet the needs of all travelers.

Gozutennou. Gozu Tenno is the enshrined deity of Kyoto’s Yasaka Shrine, a god that protects against epidemics, and is considered to be the same as the god Suho no Mikoto. During the Edo period, the deity enshrined at Kanda Myojin Shrine was Taira no Masakado no Mikoto, but the second shogun Tokugawa Hidetada divided the shrine into three shrines, including the landowner god Gozu Tenno, whose deity was Sono no Mikoto. If you go around the shrine building of Kanda Myojin to the left, you will see three shrines enshrined here. Ichinomiya was in charge of Minamidenmacho, Ninomiya was in charge of Odenmacho, and Sannomiya was in charge of Nihonbashi Kobunecho. The festivals of these three shrines were enthusiastically enjoyed by Edo people as one of the three major festivals of Edo.

It is called karazuri, which is a method of printing that creates unevenness on the paper rather than printing colors. Image

Spring is sushi, summer is rainbow and eel, fall is moon and tempura, and winter is snow and soba. What exactly are Nafuda and Senjafuda? Nabutsu began with people posting their name or business name on shrines and temples, and gradually began to be exchanged by enthusiasts. The role is similar to exchanging business cards in the Edo period. Then, a Nasudakai was formed and a salon culture developed.
