EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "JAPAN: FOREIGNER, c1861" takes us back in time to the enchanting world of Yokohama geisha houses during the Edo period. In this scene, foreigners from five different countries find themselves immersed in a mesmerizing display of entertainment. The focal point of the image is a magician who has captured the attention and curiosity of both men and women alike. Dressed in traditional Japanese kimonos, they gather around a table adorned with delicious food and drinks as they eagerly await the next mystifying trick. The atmosphere inside the geisha house exudes an air of intrigue and wonder. This snapshot offers a glimpse into Japan's early stages of Westernization during the Meiji era. It showcases how foreign influences were embraced within Japanese society while still maintaining its rich cultural heritage. The fusion between Eastern mysticism and Western occult practices adds another layer to this intriguing tableau. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes evident that this woodblock print not only captures a specific event but also symbolizes an era marked by cross-cultural exchange and openness to new experiences. Through Granger Art on Demand's meticulous preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness this unique blend of tradition and modernity firsthand.
