The senjafuda pasted at the Suijinmon entrance gate at Mt. Tsukuba Shrine. We can clearly see the competition of whoever can paste the senjafuda as high as possible here.
The phenomenon of senjafuda dates back to the late 18th century. They were originally made by pilgrims to paste on the walls of temples and shrines as a sort of devotional graffiti. Later they became collector’s items, and by the middle of the 19th century they had become miniature masterpieces of woodblock printed art. Senjafuda depict a dizzying variety of themes with meticulous craftsmanship and vivid, stylish graphic design.
