EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Nanban Six-Fold Screen, a remarkable piece of art from the Edo Period in Japan. Measuring an impressive 122x373 cm, this screen depicts the momentous arrival of a Portuguese ship for trade. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the bustling scene at the port, with figures eagerly awaiting the arrival of these foreign traders known as "barbarians". The ships' rigging and sails are meticulously depicted, highlighting their impressive size and craftsmanship. As one's gaze wanders across this magnificent artwork, it becomes evident that trade was not only about goods but also cultural exchange. Japanese merchants can be seen engaging with Portuguese sailors amidst a backdrop of cloudy skies. Horses and other animals add to the liveliness of this scene, symbolizing both transport and wealth. This six-fold screen served not only as a decorative element but also as functional furniture in traditional Japanese homes. Its folding design allowed for easy storage when not in use. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, viewers can appreciate how East Asia embraced international trade during this period while maintaining its unique identity. It serves as a testament to Japan's openness to foreign influences and its ability to adapt them into its own artistic traditions.
