This painting shows not only views of the Kitano Shrine in Kyoto after it was repaired by order of Hideyori Toyotomi but also the lively scene around the temporary theater erected near the shrine, where the play of Okuni-Kabuki is being performed. It used to form a pair of six-fold screens with another painting representing ome of the noted spots of the Higashi-yama (the Gion Shrine) in Kyoto. The purpose of this paper is to consider the art historical significance of "the itano Shrine and Okuni-Kabuki Screen" while focusing on the image of the staffage person. Through analysis, this painting shows numerous pious people visiting the Kitano Shrine and it seems that the painting as depicted is filled with a religious atmosphere rather than one of a pleasure trip.
