BAKUMATSUYA € Catalogue for June 2021 1057-29 Ichigao-cho, Aoba-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa 225-0024, JAPAN Inspection by appointment only www.bakumatsuya.com - 2 - Edward King diary on trips to Nagasaki and Ningbo Important work written prior to July 1859 opening of Nagasaki [Japan][China] Unique, primary resource almost certainly written by Edward King (c1817-1875), an American silk and tea merchant based in Shanghai. The first part of the diary covers his departure from Shanghai to Nagasaki on March 15, 1859 and his return on April 6th. He mentions the voyage, the terrible food on board, and then on Nagasaki writes about the customs officials, the difficulty of changing currency, silk products, shopping, a drunk Chinese interpreter (whose business card is affixed in the diary), and an important description of Nagasaki itself and Desima [Dejima]. He also decribes the people of Nagasaki, some customs, and the entertainment he witnessed. He even wrote a two-page English-Japanese vocabulary which is surprisingly good except for a bizarre definition of how to say, 'tomorrow' in Japanese. On his Ningbo trip (April 28 - May 12, 1859) he decribes what he sees and his visit to a tea plantation. A complete transcript of the diary is available on request. King mentions the names of the ships he travelled on, their captains, as well as dates, so the North China Herald newspaper passenger lists confirm Edward King was the only passenger named who was on three of the four voyages. In the diary King also affixed various woodblock prints he no doubt purchased whilst in Nagasaki along with a large fold- out map of Nagasaki and a Japanese treasury note pinned in. This is quite possibly the only pre-July 1859 Nagasaki diary not in a museum or other institution. Nagasaki - 46pp of text, 2pp vocabulary, 25pp of mostly woodblock printed illustrations, 1 fold-out map, 1 loose woodblock printed paper model of a theatre. Ningbo - 41pp of text, 26 blank pages at end, 2 woodblock printed diptychs pasted in at the end. 17.9 x 11.5cm. In very good condition. General age wear and most of the woodblock prints are slightly larger than the diary so are bent at edges. Map has a few old holes. b33040934 Price: $29,730 https://www.bakumatsuya.com/shop-description.php?ID=1621537216&La=E - 3 - A New Account of America - Complete Set of 5 Books by Tsurumine Shigenobu (Kaisei Gyofu) [Japan] Lovely, complete set of 5 books titled, 'Meriken Shinshi'.

The then 31 states of America are also listed. A pioneering work as it was basically the first Japanese book to look at America in some detail.

During the first three decades of the twentieth century, Japanese society underwent significant changes in a short amount of time. After the intense modernizations of the late nineteenth century, the start of the twentieth century witnessed an increase in overseas militarism, turbulent domestic politics, an evolving middle class, and the expansion of roles for women to play outside the home. As such, the early decades of the twentieth century in Japan were a crucial period for the formation of modern ideas about femininity and womanhood. Before, during, and after the rule of her husband Emperor Taishō (1879-1926; r. 1912-1926), Empress Teimei held a highly public role, and was frequently seen in a variety of visual media.

  • La Dualità Delle Yokohama Shashin Le Fotografie Souvenir Come Mezzo Di Diffusione Di Stereotipi Culturali
    Corso di Laurea magistrale in Lingue e Civiltà dell’Asia e dell’Africa Mediterranea (LICAAM) Tesi di Laurea La dualità delle Yokohama shashin Le fotografie souvenir come mezzo di diffusione di stereotipi culturali Relatrice Ch.ma Prof.ssa Silvia Vesco Correlatore Ch. Prof. Toshio Miyake Laureanda Helena Durante Matricola 832691 Anno Accademico 2018 / 2019 要旨 横浜写真というのは、手で彩色されたアルブミンプリントのことであり、浮世絵 の美しさと似ている。１９世紀半ばに生まれ、横浜写真の作品は風景と日本の 伝統的な文化のものが多い。ところが、大きな変化があった時期で、横浜写真の 被写体は実際にあったものと少し違っていた。 １８６８年に明治維新が起き、明治政府と明治天皇は近代化行動を進め、様々な 変化があった。したがって、日本社会は非常に変わり、江戸時代の伝統的な形式は 徐々に消え、新しい科学技術、輸送機関、服装とファッションなどが生まれた。 それに、欧米化運動もあったので、社会のイメージは非常に外国からの影響が あり、モダンな洋風建築や店の英語看板が多くあった。ところが、このモダンな 風景が横浜写真では見られない。その結果、その時代の多くの写真は写真館で製作 され、江戸時代の風俗を似せるために役者や舞台美術が使われた。 横浜写真は、外国人や外国旅行者に向け土産として生まれ、輸出品として ヨーロッパやアメリにと輸出された。その写真はエキゾチックな日本のイメージを 与えたので、とても気があり、商業的にも成功だった。この撮影は過去の記憶 として評判があったけれども、当時の社会の真正な記録として好まれた。それ から、横浜写真は西洋の社会で当時日本の実際のイメージとして海外で普及して いたので、誤解や先入観を与えてしまったかもしれない。このことについての資料 は少ない。研究者が横浜写真と浮世絵の関係を詳しく調べたものはあるが、横浜 写真が西洋社会に与えた影響についてはまだあまり調べられていない。 この卒業論文では、まず横浜写真について説明し、撮影の含み結果を調べ、その 写真と海外社会の文化映像想像の関係を検討する。本稿は四つの章から成り立って いる。 第一章には、まず日本歴史的背景を解説し、それから写真技術の導入や日本での 独自の進化について説明する。最初の写真機材は１８４８年に出島でのオランダ船 との貿易で日本に入ってきた。だが、当時の写真技術は難しい点が多く、初めて 日本人が撮影したのは１８５７年だった。日本で写真技術は外国写真家によって 普及され、１８６０年ぐらいまでは日本に関して写真は外国人が撮影していた。 それから、写真技術の発達により、アマチュア日本写真家が次第に増え、外国写真 1 家のように撮影をするようになった。写真の技術は幕末時代、そして明治維新に 進歩した。近代化と共に日本のイメージは変化し、欧米化運動につれて社会は洋風 なものを取り込んだ。１８７２年に撮影された明治天皇の最初の写真は、写真技術 と近代化の象徴だった。 第二章は、横浜写真に関して説明し、この写真の歴史や特徴や経済発展も 述べる。この写真は、幕末時代から１９００年ぐらいにかけて撮られ、まずは横浜 開港に限られたが、やがて他の港や首都圏でも多くの写真が撮られた。横浜写真の

  • Schaftliches Klima Und Die Alte Frau Als Feindbild
    6 Zusammenfassung und Schluss: Populärkultur, gesell- schaftliches Klima und die alte Frau als Feindbild Wie ein extensiver Streifzug durch die großstädtische Populärkultur der späten Edo-Zeit gezeigt hat, tritt darin etwa im letzten Drittel der Edo-Zeit der Typus hässlicher alter Weiber mit zahlreichen bösen, ne- gativen Eigenschaften in augenfälliger Weise in Erscheinung. Unter Po- pulärkultur ist dabei die Dreiheit gemeint, die aus dem volkstümlichen Theater Kabuki besteht, den polychromen Holzschnitten, und der leich- ten Lektüre der illustrierten Romanheftchen (gōkan) und der – etwas gehobenere Ansprüche bedienenden – Lesebücher (yomihon), die mit einem beschränkten Satz von Schriftzeichen auskamen und der Unter- haltung und Erbauung vornehmlich jener Teile der Bevölkerung dien- ten, die nur eine einfache Bildung genossen hatten. Durch umherziehen- de Leihbuchhändler fand diese Art der Literatur auch über den groß- städtischen Raum hinaus bis hin in die kleineren Landflecken und Dör- fer hinein Verbreitung. Die drei Medien sind vielfach verschränkt: Holzschnitte dienen als Werbemittel für bzw. als Erinnerungsstücke an Theateraufführungen; Theaterprogramme sind reich illustrierte kleine Holzschnittbücher; die Stoffe der Theaterstücke werden in den zahllo- sen Groschenheften in endlosen Varianten recyclet; in der Heftchenlite- ratur spielt die Illustration eine maßgebliche Rolle, die Illustratoren sind dieselben wie die Zeichner der Vorlagen für die Holzschnitte; in einigen Fällen sind Illustratoren und Autoren identisch; Autoren steuern Kurz- texte als Legenden für Holzschnitte bei. Nachdrücklich muss der kommerzielle Aspekt dieser „Volkskultur“ betont werden. In allen genannten Sparten dominieren Auftragswerke, die oft in nur wenigen Tagen erledigt werden mussten. Die Theaterbe- treiber ließen neue Stücke schreiben oder alte umschreiben beziehungs- weise brachten Kombinationen von Stücken zur Aufführung, von wel- chen sie sich besonders viel Erfolg versprachen.

  • La Escuela Utagawa, Orgullo De Edo
    La escuela Utagawa, orgullo de Edo Daniel Sastre de la Vega UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA DE MADRID Toyohara Kunichika El rufián Ushiwaka Denji (por Sawamura Tosshō II), 1867 (cat. 72 b) 44 La escuela Utagawa consiguió una popularidad, pujanza y permanencia supe- riores al resto de escuelas de ukiyo-e. Ninguna contó entre sus filas, al mismo tiempo, con tres artistas en plenas facultades creativas, cada uno líder de su propia especialidad. En la escuela Utagawa coincidieron, simultáneamente, Ku- nisada –maestro de retratos de bellezas femeninas y actores de kabuki–, Kuni- yoshi –especialista en estampas de guerreros– y Hiroshige –el gran creador de paisajes–1. Si en el siglo XVII destacó la escuela encabezada por Hishikawa Moronobu (1618-1694) y en el XVIII las escuelas Torii y Katsukawa, en el siglo XIX el pro- tagonismo fue acaparado por los Utagawa. Su ascenso al reconocimiento públi- co no se manifestó con el fundador de la escuela sino con la segunda generación de discípulos, que iniciaron su carrera ascendente en los últimos cinco años del siglo XVIII. Los datos que aportan los expertos sobre la producción de la escue- la son reveladores de la importancia económica alcanzada por la maquinaria artística Utagawa. Solamente atendiendo al número de artistas que añadieron Utagawa a su nombre, o que recibieron de un maestro de la escuela algunos de los caracteres de su identidad artística –gagō–, la cifra supera el centenar2. Si se compara este dato con los veinticinco artistas adscritos a la escuela Katsukawa, la diferencia resulta considerable. El estilo característico de sus estampas conformaría en el siglo XIX la imagen tópica de bellezas femeninas o actores de teatro kabuki, y llevaría a la identifi- cación de sus artistas con la ciudad de Edo –por trabajar y vivir allí3–.

  • DE LOS GRABADOS XILOGRÁFICOS UKIYO-E DE LA UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID Patricia GARCÍA SÁNCHEZ-MIGALLÓN
    DE LOS GRABADOS XILOGRÁFICOS UKIYO-E DE LA UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID Patricia GARCÍA SÁNCHEZ-MIGALLÓN El presente trabajo versa sobre la colección de estampas japonesas conservadas en la Facultad de Bellas Artes de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid y mi objetivo principal es el acercamiento del arte de la es- tampación xilográfica tan ligada desde los orígenes de la imprenta a la escritura, además de dar a conocer la rica colección de este tipo de grabados japoneses que posee nuestra universidad. La colección se compone de 791 grabados xilográficos sobre madera de cerezo datados entre mediados del siglo XIX y principios del perio- do Meiji. Pertenecen a la escuela que se ha venido denominando ukiyo-e, escuela pictórica surgida en la ciu- dad de Edo (actual Tokyo) durante el periodo de su mismo nombre. El término se compone de tres ideogra- mas: uki, 浮, que aporta el significado de pasajero, algo que flota y se desvanece, yo, 世, que significa mundo, y e, 絵, que incorpora el sentido de representación o imagen. De esta combinación de ideogramas se despren- de la interpretación generalizada de “imágenes del mundo flotante”, cuya temática se relaciona con el carpe diem de Horacio, los artistas buscan expresar el carácter efímero de los placeres mundanos pero sin las con- notaciones negativas que se han desarrollado en Occidente debido a la influencia del cristianismo y la arrai- gada creencia en una vida más allá de la muerte. Esta escuela plasma los placeres de la vida, del aquí y el ahora, ilustrando una filosofía contraria al confucionismo y representando una verdadera apología del hedo- nismo.

This genre is known as sensô sakusen kirokuga (war campaign documentary painting). Japan’s army and navy commissioned noted Japanese painters to record war campaigns on a monumental scale. Military officials favored yôga (Western-style painting) for its strength in depicting scenes in realistic detail over nihonga (Japanese-style painting). The military gave unprecedented commissions to yôga painters despite the fact that Japan was fighting the “materialist” West. Large military exhibitions exposed these paintings to civilians. Officials attached national importance to war documentary paintings by publicizing that the emperor had inspected them in the Imperial Palace. This study attempts to analyze postwar Japanese reluctance to tackle war documentary painting by examining its controversial and unsettling nature.

  • The 160Th Anniversary of Franco-Japanese Diplomatic Relations: How France Discovered Japonisme
    DIPLOMACY The 160th Anniversary of Franco-Japanese Diplomatic Relations: How France Discovered Japonisme Watanabe Hirotaka, Director, Institute for International Relations, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies The age of cultural diplomacy On July 14 this year (Bastille Day, or France’s national day) Foreign Minister Kono Taro traveled to France in place of Prime Minister Abe Shinzo, who had canceled his French trip due to damage from heavy rain in the Chubu region of Japan. The Foreign Ministers of both countries took part in the opening ceremony of “Japonismes 2018,” the start of eight months of events to mark the 160th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and France. At the beginning of September in Paris there was a gagaku performance by the Gagaku Department of the Imperial Household Agency, which has protected its historic traditions for Prof. Watanabe Hirotaka a thousand and several hundred years. This first overseas performance by the department in a quarter of a century was a huge success. That same month, the Crown Prince visited France and an exhibition of the work of Ito Jakuchu also opened. Additionally, mainly centered on Paris, various other events on Japan’s diverse cultural arts were staged, such as Shochiku Grand Kabuki, kyogen and noh theater, wadaiko drumming, an exhibition of work by the Rimpa school of painting, an exhibition of Buddha statues from Nara, and other traditional arts. There was a festival of Japanese films that included works by Kawase Naomi and modern theater such as a performance of Kafka on the Shore directed by Ninagawa Yukio. In addition, there was a discussion on Paul Claudel as part of Franco-Japanese intellectual exchange and a social sciences symposium which took as its theme the France-Japan cooperation that this writer has organized for ten years.
