EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment in the early 17th century, depicting the "Arrival of the Southern Barbarians (Portuguese traders at Nagasaki)" by the renowned Kano school. The artwork, which measures an impressive 155x350 cm and is mounted on brocade, showcases intricate details created with ink, color, and gold leaf on paper. The scene depicted in this six-panel screen reveals a Portuguese ship arriving in Japan's harbor. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the vibrant trade relationships between Portugal and Asia during that era. The presence of Western European merchants on Asian shores was seen as exotic and foreign to Japanese society at that time. The image beautifully captures the bustling activity surrounding this arrival. The coastal port of Nagasaki comes alive with Japanese locals engaging with these foreign traders. The folding furniture and galley aboard the vessel add authenticity to this historic portrayal. Through this artwork, we can appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its significance as a visual record of maritime commerce between two distant cultures. This piece serves as a reminder of how trade routes connected nations across vast oceans long before modern globalization. Displayed here from a private collection, this extraordinary print allows us to delve into history while admiring the skillful craftsmanship of Japanese artists from centuries ago.
