EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical moment of the Sixth Korean Embassy to Japan during Tokugawa Ietsuna's succession in 1651. The image, possibly painted by Kano Masunobu, showcases a scroll painting that provides a glimpse into the diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan at that time. The scene depicted is filled with bustling activity as porters, servants, and standard bearers accompany the envoy on their journey. The retinue moves forward in an impressive procession, showcasing the grandeur and importance of this embassy. It is evident that great care has been taken to capture every detail of this significant event. The ambassador himself stands out amongst his entourage, representing both his country and its people with dignity and pride. His presence symbolizes the strong bond between Korea and Japan during this period. As we delve deeper into this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the exchange of gifts between these two nations. This visual narrative serves as a testament to the cultural exchange and diplomacy that took place during Tokugawa Ietsuna's reign. Preserved within the School of Oriental and African Studies Library at University College London (UCL), this print offers us a unique opportunity to explore history through art. Its significance lies not only in its artistic value but also in its ability to shed light on an important chapter in East Asian history – one where diplomacy bridged gaps between nations despite political differences.
