EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured woodblock print, titled "Europeans taking a walk in Yokohama" transports us back to the year 1871. Created by Sadahide Utagawa, a renowned Japanese artist of the time, this artwork captures a fascinating cultural encounter between Europeans and the people of Yokohama. The scene unfolds on the quayside, where European men and women can be seen strolling along with their children. Dressed in elegant European attire, they stand out amidst the bustling harbor filled with sailing ships and schooners. The vibrant colors used by Sadahide bring life to this historical moment. As we observe closely, it becomes apparent that this is not just an ordinary promenade; it is a family affair. Husbands proudly lead their wives while holding hands with their little ones. The joyous expressions on their faces reflect both curiosity and admiration for each other's cultures. Yokohama was one of Japan's first ports opened to foreign trade during this period, leading to an influx of Western influence into traditional Japanese society. This print serves as a testament to the harmonious coexistence between these two worlds. Through this image captured over a century ago, we are reminded of how art has the power to transcend time and bridge gaps between different civilizations. It allows us to appreciate our shared humanity while celebrating our unique cultural identities.
