Description

The popular expression "to jump off the stage at Kiyomizu" is the Japanese equivalent of the English expression "to take the plunge". This refers to an Edo period tradition that held that, if one were to survive a 13m jump from the stage, one's wish would be granted. Two hundred thirty-four jumps were recorded in the Edo period and, of those, 85.4% survived.The practice is now prohibited. This picture followed a picture of HARUNOBU of May 1st last year.

Mental! I wonder how many of the 85.4% that survived actually had their wish granted, and how many of them suddenly wished that they had legs that weren't broken!

A wonderfully illustrated bit of Japanese tradition. Of all you works I like these the best, along with Fujiko-san in her modern role too.

Fascinating bit of Japanese history and tradition. I'm pretty sure most of the 85% that survived probably had to be helped away from the landing zone! Your lovely character has the right idea, I just hope that umberlla is up to the task! :-D Excellent work, Fujiko-san! Great action pose!
