Description: Chōsen Tsūshin-shi Raichō-zu, Japanese painting by Tōei Hanegawa, depicting the procession of the 1748 Joseon missions to Japan in Edo. Collection of The City of Kobe Museum, the Hajime Ikenaga Gallery. This is a landscape painting of the Korean communication ambassador, including the equestrian figure, marching in an orderly manner. This style was born in Edo in the 1740s and was called Uki-e because things in the painting looked three-dimensional. It can also be seen as “floating picture” in the box drawing of this figure. This figure is presumed to have been drawn based on the 10th communication envoy of the 1st year of Kannobu (1748) among the Korean correspondents who came to Japan when the general changed. The clerk and his group have finished greetings to the Shogun, crossing Tokiwabashi to return to the embassy Asakusa Honganji, and drawing a scene past Honcho 2-chome. From the box on the storage box, you can see that this figure was the work of Kojiro (Kojiin), the second child of Tokugawa Yoshimune and the child of Munetake Tayasu, who frustrated at the age of 9 in 1753. After the death of Kojiro, it was given to the priest Masamitsu Shun of Ryoun-in, where Kojiro was buried, at the child temple of Toeizan Kaneiji in 4th year of the Holy calendar, and even from Enshoji Temple in 1961 to the Enryakuji Temple. It seems to have been dropped. There is an opinion that this figure is different from the details of the actual communication ambassador, so there is an opinion that it is regarded as a Tang people procession of the Sanno Festival, but it is not only the scene of the festival, but the communication procession is the main, and the memory of the festival is mixed. It is thought that it was drawn.
