EDITORS COMMENTS
This Japanese print, created in the late 1880s, offers a unique and intriguing perspective on English Christmas customs as depicted by a Japanese artist. The scene is filled with a rich tapestry of Western influences, each element meticulously rendered with a stylized, grotesque charm that is both enchanting and slightly bizarre. In the foreground, a pantomime performance unfolds, complete with colorful costumes and exaggerated expressions. Nearby, a group of Europeans is engaged in the unusual activity of making a Christmas pudding, their serious faces contrasting with the whimsical pantomime. The table is set for a grand Christmas dinner, with roast turkey, cranberry sauce, and mince pies, all presented in a European style. The scene takes an unexpected turn as a group of children participate in a Christmas party, playing croquet, an activity that the Illustrated London News found particularly bizarre in its English Christmas coverage. The children's joyous expressions and the croquet mallets poised for a strike add a playful energy to the scene. Finally, the doctor arrives to administer "physic" to those who have overindulged, adding a touch of reality to the fantastical Christmas tableau. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical relations between Europeans and Westerners, as well as the artistic interpretations of foreign customs that were popular during this period.
