EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Sixth Korean Embassy to Japan in Meireki 1 during the reign of Tokugawa Ietsuna in 1651. The intricate scroll painting, possibly created by Kano Masunobu, transports us back to a significant moment in history when diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan were being forged. The image captures a detailed section of the painting, measuring 33.3x12.5 cm, which is housed at the School of Oriental and African Studies Library at the University of London. It depicts a scene filled with vibrancy and cultural significance. In this snapshot, we see standard bearers leading an envoy from Korea accompanied by their retinue and horsemen. Each figure is meticulously painted with precision and attention to detail, showcasing the skillful artistry of Japanese painters from the 17th century. Tokugawa Ietsuna's succession as the fourth shogun of Japan adds further historical context to this artwork. It serves as a visual reminder of an era marked by political alliances and cultural exchanges between two neighboring nations. As we delve into this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate its ability to transport us through time while shedding light on an important chapter in East Asian history.
