Nations Sunday Woodblocks Woodcuts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning triptych print, titled 'People of Five Nations - Sunday,' captures a peaceful moment in Yokohama, Japan, during the early years of international trade. The year is 1861, and the interior of a foreign settlement house is filled with an eclectic mix of people from various nations, gathered around a table for a tea party. The women, dressed in their traditional attire, engage in animated conversation, while the men, clad in Western-style clothing, look on with interest. In the background, through the open windows, the tranquil harbor comes into view, with several ships anchored at the shore. The ships represent the five nations that had established trade relations with Japan at that time - the United States, France, Russia, the Netherlands, and Great Britain. The print masterfully conveys the sense of cultural exchange and diplomacy that was taking place during this period. Created as a woodblock print, the intricate details of the scene are brought to life through the skillful use of color and shading. The artist has expertly captured the warmth and intimacy of the tea party, while also highlighting the bustling activity outside, where the world of commerce and diplomacy unfolds. This print is a testament to the rich history of international relations and the enduring allure of Japan's past.
