EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Historical views of Japan" takes us on a journey back in time to the 18th century. The image, captured by an English School artist, showcases various intriguing scenes from Japanese history. In the foreground, we see a Japanese woman elegantly riding in a sedan chair mounted on wheels. Her presence exudes grace and nobility as she is accompanied by her loyal servant. This glimpse into traditional transportation methods offers a fascinating insight into the customs and lifestyle of that era. Moving towards the background, our attention is drawn to another significant historical event - the forced stepping on a crucifix (fumie) by Japanese Christians in Nagasaki during the 17th century. This poignant scene serves as a reminder of religious persecution and cultural clashes that shaped Japan's past. Further along, we witness natives joining together for the burial ceremony of a British sailor from the Lord Amherst ship in Okinawa (Lewchew Islands). This moment captures cross-cultural interactions between Western explorers and indigenous communities during their maritime expeditions. The handcoloured copperplate engraving adds vibrancy to this remarkable artwork created by Rev. Isaac Taylor for educational purposes. It not only entertains but also instructs young travelers about Asia's rich history and diverse cultures. Overall, this print provides an invaluable window into Japan's past - its traditions, conflicts, encounters with foreign influences - all encapsulated within one frame. A true treasure for enthusiasts seeking to delve deeper into Asian history and heritage.
