EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back to the 19th century and immersed in the world of Japanese fencing. The image depicts a fencing master, accompanied by two helpers who don his protective gear. As the master prepares for his training session, he gracefully slides his white gloves over the sleeves of his swords. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every line and stroke captures the essence of tradition and discipline that surrounds this ancient martial art form. The costumes worn by both the master and his assistants reflect their dedication to preserving Japanese culture. This print was created as an illustration for Aime Humbert's voyage to Japan in 1863-1864, chronicled in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages". It serves as a visual testament to Humbert's exploration of different cultures during that time period. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown but has skillfully captured not only the physicality but also the spirit of learning and teaching within Japanese fencing. This engraving stands as a timeless representation of Asian tradition and serves as a reminder of our fascination with ancient practices that continue to inspire us today.
