EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Sixth Korean Embassy to Japan during the reign of Tokugawa Ietsuna in 1651. The artwork, possibly created by Kano Masunobu, showcases a scroll painting that measures 33.3x12.5 cm and is currently housed at the School of Oriental and African Studies Library, University of London. The image depicts an elaborate procession led by bearers carrying a litter, symbolizing the arrival of the Korean envoy to Japan. This diplomatic mission highlights the intricate relations between Korea and Japan during this period. It was during Ietsuna's succession as the fourth Tokugawa shogun that this embassy took place. The attention to detail in this painting is remarkable, with each member of the retinue carefully portrayed along with their traditional attire and accessories. The ambassador himself stands out amidst his entourage, representing both his nation's pride and commitment to fostering peaceful relations between these two neighboring countries. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the significance of diplomacy and cultural exchange throughout history. This artwork serves as a testament to human connections transcending borders and reminds us that even centuries ago, nations sought understanding through dialogue rather than conflict. In collaboration with Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance within East Asian relations during Tokugawa Ietsuna's era.
