Description天保3年6月市村座「辻花七化粧」でのあみ打ちを描いたとも思われるが、三社権現の由来を描いた本図の趣向とは合わない。なお天保3年3月中村座「弥生の花浅草祭」では三社権現の由来を所作として上演している。また弘化4年4月河原崎座「時翫雛浅草八景」上演時に本図と同じ構図のものが作られている。(参考図101-6640)

ProvenanceBy 1911, purchased by William Sturgis Bigelow (b. 1850–d. 1926), Boston [see note 1]; 1911, gift of Bigelow to the MFA. (Accession Date: January 19, 2005)

NOTES:
[1] Much of Bigelow's collection of Asian art was formed during his residence in Japan between 1882 and 1889, although he also made acquisitions in Europe and the United States. Bigelow deposited many of these objects at the MFA in 1890 before donating them to the Museum's collection at later dates.
