EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating woodblock print, "Preparing Meals in a Foreign Residence (Ijin yashiki ryori no zu), 1860" takes us back to the vibrant Edo period in Japan. Created by the talented artist Yoshikazu Utagawa, this artwork beautifully captures the fusion of cultures and traditions during that time. In this scene, we find ourselves inside a foreign residence in Yokohama, where an intriguing encounter between East and West is unfolding. A group of Europeans can be seen engaging with their Japanese hosts as they prepare a meal together. The kitchen is adorned with traditional Japanese furniture and utensils, juxtaposed against European appliances such as a stove and kettle. Amidst the bustling activity, our attention is drawn to a man named Jirobei who skillfully wields his knife while preparing ingredients for the feast. His loyal companion, a dog at his feet, eagerly awaits any tasty morsels that may fall its way. This print not only showcases the artistry of Utagawa but also serves as a testament to cultural exchange during this era. It reminds us of how different continents came together through trade and exploration, resulting in unique blends of customs and cuisines. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Art Institute Chicago's collection, we are transported back to an extraordinary moment where two worlds collided harmoniously within one kitchen.
