EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a dormitory in an inn in Japan during the mid-19th century. The engraving, created by Aime Humbert, minister of the Swiss Confederation, beautifully captures the essence of a voyage to Japan between 1863 and 1864. The image depicts a traditional Asian bedroom within the inn, showcasing Japanese culture and tradition. The simplicity and elegance of the room are evident as we observe tatami mats on the floor, sliding doors adorned with delicate artwork, and futon mattresses neatly arranged for guests' comfort. As we delve into this historical scene, we can imagine weary travelers finding solace in this peaceful dormitory after their long journey. This hostel provided them with much-needed ease and tranquility as they sought restful sleep amidst unfamiliar surroundings. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every element contributes to our understanding of life during that era. From the intricate woodwork to the minimalistic decor, it is clear that Japanese aesthetics played a significant role even then. Thanks to Leonard de Selva's photograph of this exquisite engraving from "Le tour du monde" we have been transported back in time to witness firsthand what life was like for travelers exploring Japan over a century ago.
