EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the iconic Namban Byobu screen titled "The Arrival of the Portuguese in Japan". Painted by an anonymous Japanese artist between 1594 and 1618, this gouache on paper masterpiece is housed at the Museu Nacional de Soares dos Reis in Porto, Portugal. In this particular section of the artwork, our attention is drawn to a bustling street scene filled with vibrant shops. The presence of European merchants adds an intriguing twist to this snapshot of daily life in Japan during that era. The Europeans can be identified by their distinct European dress, which contrasts beautifully with the traditional costumes worn by the locals. As we delve deeper into this image, we are captivated by the array of boutiques lining both sides of the street. These shops offer a glimpse into the commercial activities that were prevalent during that time. From fabrics to other commodities brought over from Europe, these establishments served as hubs for trade and cultural exchange between East and West. "The Arrival of the Portuguese in Japan" not only captures a historical moment but also serves as a testament to how art can bridge cultures and transcend time. This extraordinary piece invites us to reflect upon our shared human experiences while celebrating diversity and intercultural connections throughout history.
