Annual Meeting Announcements - Interesting woodblock commissioned Nosatsu Mutsumi Shusai, an organization dedicated to nosatsu, as an announcement for their meetings. Also known as senjafuda, nosatsu are small woodblock votive prayer slips designed to be pasted up at temples and shrines by visitors. Nosatsu became popular with travelers on pilgrimages during the Edo era, and are still used today. They also are prized as collectibles, with enthusiastic groups meeting to commission and trade designs. Each print credits the artist as Hamada Josen. There was a Hamada Josen active during the Meiji era, so the image behind the calligraphy may be based on an earlier design by him, but we are not sure. The blocks were carved by Shujiro Kuga and printed by Sekioka Senkei. An interesting example of a popular Japanese collectible, not often seen outside Japan.
