Objects Representing the Ceremony of Exorcising Demons, One of the New Year Performances

A Japanese woodblock print depicts objects arranged on a surface. The objects include a broom with a long handle and a bunch of thistle-like plants attached to it; a winnowing basket; another flat basket; and a shovel-like object. The background is beige with darker discoloration and wrinkles. Japanese characters are written in black ink in the upper left and right corners; some of the characters on the right are written in red ink.
