Drawing on toys preserved at Sukeroku, a long-established specialty shop devoted to Edo-style whimsical toys and founded in 1866 along the main approach to Asakusa Temple and Nakamise Street, it reconstructs a three-dimensional view of everyday life and seasonal observances in Edo. Folk dolls and street toys function as concrete records of contemporary events and entertainments, including pilgrimages to the Seven Lucky Deities, cherry-blossom viewing, the Sanja Festival, theater-going, sumo wrestling, and rakugo storytelling, conveying the rhythms of daily life and the lively atmosphere of the town. Presented with carefully selected photographs, this volume offers a clear, cohesive, and visually rich overview of Edo-period customs and annual traditions.
