EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a significant moment during the International Exhibition of 1862 in London, where two Japanese ambassadors are seen inspecting the various displays. The exhibition, held from May 1 to November 1, 1862, in South Kensington, attracted visitors from all corners of the world, and this scene in the building is a testament to the cultural exchange that took place during this grand event. The Japanese ambassadors, dressed in their traditional attire, are a sight to behold. The man on the left wears a long, flowing robe, known as a kimono, with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. He completes his look with a wide-brimmed hat, or kasa, and a pair of geta sandals. The other ambassador, also in a kimono, wears a more subdued, dark-colored robe and a simpler hat. Both men wear boots, or zori, with their geta, which were commonly worn with formal attire. The print, published in the Illustrated London News, captures the full length of the ambassadors, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of their traditional clothing and footwear. The print also offers a glimpse into the commissary, where goods from various countries were displayed, providing a window into the world of international trade and tourism during this period. The International Exhibition of 1862 was a pivotal moment in the history of cultural exchange and diplomacy, and this print offers a unique perspective into this fascinating time. It is a reminder of the importance of travel, exploration, and the sharing of ideas and traditions, which continue to shape our world today.
