Japan: 'Station Forty-One: Miya, Festival at Atsuta Temple'. Ukiyo-e woodblock print from the series 'Fifty-three Stations of the Tôkaidô Road' by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858), c. 1834. Miya: Two gangs of men and a horse dragging a festival cart (not shown) past the entrance to Miya Temple on a fête day. The name Miya literally means 'shrine', and is a shortened word denoting the Atsuta Shrine. It is one of the most important shrines in the country because it holds one of the three divine symbols of the Japanese imperial throne.
