ENGLISH IN JAPAN, 1867 - A Historic Diplomatic Encounter in Osaka
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - the reception of Sir Harry Smith Parkes, the British Minister, by Hitotsubashi, the last Shogun of Japan. Taken during the Edo period and beautifully depicted through a wood engraving from an English newspaper in 1867, this image offers a glimpse into a crucial era of Japanese-Western relations. In this scene, we witness an intriguing blend of cultures as Sir Harry Smith Parkes is warmly welcomed by Hitotsubashi and his entourage. Dressed in traditional Japanese robes while surrounded by men donning Western-style uniforms, this ceremony symbolizes Japan's gradual process of westernization under Emperor Meiji. The interior setting showcases intricate details that reflect both Japanese aesthetics and European influences. The mid-19th century marked a turning point for Japan as it embarked on modernization efforts to catch up with global powers. This encounter between East and West exemplifies the shifting dynamics during this transformative period. Notably known as Lord Keiki Yoshinobu Tokugawa or simply Hitotsubashi, he played a pivotal role as one of the last Shoguns before power was restored to Emperor Meiji. His presence here signifies an openness towards diplomatic engagements with foreign nations like Britain. This remarkable photograph print serves as a testament to diplomacy's power in bridging cultural gaps and fostering international relationships during times of change.
