EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment from the Kami cult's dance performance in Japan. The engraving, created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, beautifully illustrates the unique choreography and recitation of litanies that accompanied this traditional dance. The image showcases unexpected and intricate choreographic figures as dancers move gracefully to the rhythm of drums and tambourines. The costumes worn by the performers add a touch of elegance to their movements, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Japan. Published in "le tour du monde" under the direction of Edouard Charton in 1869, this engraving was part of Aime Humbert's journey to Japan as a minister for the Swiss Confederation. It offers viewers a glimpse into a fascinating aspect of Japanese culture that may have been unfamiliar to Western audiences at that time. The Selva Collection has preserved this historical artwork, allowing us to appreciate its beauty today. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also invites us to explore and learn more about different cultures through art. With its combination of music, dance, tradition, and spirituality, this image encapsulates both the diversity and unity found within human expressions across cultures.
