EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grand procession of the Mikado, the Emperor of Japan, at the dairi, the ancient imperial castle of Heian-kyo (present-day Kyoto). The image takes us back to a bygone era from 794 to 1869 when this magnificent event took place. Engraved by Aime Humbert, minister of the Swiss Confederation, in 1866 for "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" under Edouard Charton's direction, this artwork beautifully illustrates Humbert's voyage to Japan between 1863 and 1864. It provides a glimpse into Japanese history and culture during that time. The grandeur and opulence depicted in this engraving are truly awe-inspiring. The Mikado's procession is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details that showcase the rich traditions of Japan. From ornate costumes to majestic floats adorned with exquisite decorations, every element exudes elegance and splendor. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we can't help but be transported back in time. We imagine ourselves standing among spectators lining the streets as they eagerly await a glimpse of their revered Emperor passing by. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and cultural significance. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty captured within its frame but also offers an opportunity for reflection on Japan's fascinating past.
