Catalogue from an exhibition held in Japan at the Kyushu National Musuem in Japan, from 14 October to 26 November 2017.; Used with minor signs of wear. Very good condition overall.; "This exhibition explores art from the perspective of "cultural interaction", focusing particularly on the turbulent period between 1543 (or 1542), when the Portuguese who first arrived on wako ships introduced firearms to Japan, in 1639, when the Tokugawa Shogunate prohibited Christianity, controlled trade, and completed its policy of "isolation". During this period, the world had entered the Age of Exploration. The Portuguese and the Spanish had reached Asia to promote trade and Christianity, while the Dutch and the British followed to participate in the trade in the East. Meanwhile, Japan had been going though a period of transition from the late Murominhi period, when the country was divided among the Sengoku daimyo, to the emergence of a unified authority under the Tokugawa Shogunate. This was a period of active negotiations with countries like China and Korea, with which Japan had had a long diplomatic history, as well as with the various regions of Southeast Asia and Europe. This exhibition looks at the history of cultural interaction through art, with the three military hegemons - Oda Nobugana, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokuhawa Ieyasu - as guides for each section. These three figures had chosen to take different diplomatic policies though times of rapid change, when people and goods traveled back and forth. In the epilogue, we pay particular attention to byobu, or the Japanese screen paintings that crossed the seas during the Age of Exploration. No work from this period has survived. However, it has been said that in Nueva Espana and the Portuguese concession of Macau, painted folding screens that were modeled after the Japanese screens were produced. The exhibition features some invaluable works from overseas collections to be shown in Japan for the first time, as it traces the influence of Japanese paintings on foreign art in the early modern period." excerpt from the introductory text by The Organizers, October 2017.
