This color woodblock print showcases the lively atmosphere of the Asakusa Festival in Tokyo, Japan, during the Edo period. The scene unfolds at the estuary of the Sumida River, where the Asakusa Festival is in full swing. Boats filled with spectators line the riverbank, eagerly watching the boat race taking place in the foreground. The boats, adorned with colorful decorations and flags, glide gracefully through the water, their oarsmen determinedly rowing to the finish line. In the background, the vibrant colors of the festival come alive. Buildings and huts are decorated with pink and green banners, while people in traditional attire fill the streets, enjoying various amusements. The festival's location at the mouth of the river, with the green landscape and blue water, adds to the picturesque beauty of the scene.

His intricate block printing technique brings every detail to life, from the facial expressions of the spectators to the intricate patterns on the boats. This double-page illustration is a testament to Hokusai's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. The Asakusa Festival is an important part of Japan's cultural heritage, and this woodblock print is a valuable piece of art that continues to captivate viewers with its vibrant colors, intricate details, and rich historical significance.
