EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Arrival of the Southern Barbarians (Portuguese traders at Nagasaki)" by the Kano school in the early 17th century transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. This six-panel screen, measuring an impressive 155x350 cm, showcases a Portuguese ship making its way into Japan's bustling port. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of the significant role that trade played in connecting distant lands during this era. The arrival of these Western European merchants from Portugal marked a turning point for Japan's coastal regions and their mercantile activities. The intricate details captured on this piece are truly remarkable; ink, color, and gold leaf bring life to every stroke. The folding furniture and galley on board depict a scene filled with anticipation as Japanese locals observe these foreign visitors with curiosity and intrigue. Nagasaki's coastline serves as the backdrop for this historic encounter between two cultures. It is through art like this that we can appreciate how maritime connections shaped societies across Asia and beyond. This exquisite print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing thanks to Bridgeman Images. Its presence reminds us of the rich tapestry of human interaction throughout history and invites us to explore further into our shared past.
