EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled 'Sights in Yokohama,' transports us back in time to the bustling port city of Japan in 1860. The image showcases a foreign visitor, dressed in Western attire, standing outside a modern Japanese building, deep in thought. His introspective gaze is directed towards the heavens, as if pondering the passage of time and the distance that separates him from his loved ones. The intricate details of the print reveal the juxtaposition of Eastern and Western influences that characterized Yokohama during this period. The foreign visitor's attire, with its Western-style hat and coat, contrasts sharply with the traditional Japanese architecture of the building behind him. The ornate design of the building, complete with intricate carvings and a red tiled roof, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The thoughts of the foreign visitor are depicted on the right-hand side of the print, outside the space occupied by him. These thoughts take the form of a framed bust portrait of a woman, possibly his wife, and a clock. The clock's hands indicate the passage of time, emphasizing the separation between the visitor and his loved ones. The bust portrait of his wife serves as a poignant reminder of the emotional toll of being away from home for an extended period. The woodblock print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural exchange that took place in Yokohama during the late 19th century. It is a visual representation of the complex interplay between Eastern and Western influences, and the human emotions that underpinned the experiences of foreign visitors to Japan during this period.
