EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the arrival of the Sixth Korean Embassy to Japan during the reign of Tokugawa Ietsuna in 1651. The scroll painting, possibly created by Kano Masunobu, showcases intricate details and offers a glimpse into diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan at that time. The image depicts a procession led by Japanese bearers carrying gifts and offerings for the embassy. The envoy's retinue can be seen walking alongside litters and palanquins, symbolizing their status and importance. Each element in this artwork tells a story - from the beautifully adorned boxes to the majestic standards held high. During the Meireki period (c. 1655-57), this event marked an important milestone in fostering cultural exchange between these two nations. It serves as a reminder of how art played a crucial role in documenting historical events and preserving cultural heritage. Preserved within the School of Oriental and African Studies Library at the University of London, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back to an era where diplomacy was expressed through grand processions, elaborate costumes, and exquisite craftsmanship. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are fortunate enough to witness this remarkable piece of Japanese artistry that continues to captivate viewers today.
