EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness a mesmerizing street performance in Japan. The scene is filled with energy and excitement as a puppetry show takes center stage, accompanied by the skilled musician who sets the rhythm for this enchanting spectacle. The puppeteer, dressed in traditional attire, skillfully manipulates his marionettes with precision and grace. Each movement of the puppets seems to come alive under his expert hands, telling stories that captivate both young and old alike. The musician stands beside him, playing an instrument that fills the air with melodious tunes, enhancing the magical atmosphere of this street entertainment. As we gaze at this remarkable print from 19th century Japan, we can almost hear the birdsong mingling with laughter and applause from an enthralled audience. This snapshot captures not only a moment of artistic expression but also reflects the rich cultural heritage of Japan. This engraving was originally published in "le tour du monde" under the direction of Edouard Charton in 1869. It serves as a testament to Aime Humbert's journey to Japan as minister of the Swiss Confederation during 1863-1864. Preserved within Selva Collection today, it allows us to appreciate and celebrate Asian traditions through art. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully immortalizes this historical artwork while reminding us of the power that street art holds in connecting communities across time and space.
