EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1861 colour woodblock print, titled "The salon of a house of foreign merchants at Yokohama" offers a glimpse into the elegant world of Japanese bourgeoisie during that era. Created by Sadahide Utagawa, this artwork measures 34x67.5 cm and is currently housed in the Musee Claude Monet in Giverny, France. In this scene, we are transported to a lavish living room adorned with exquisite furnishings and delicate decorations. The room is filled with lively conversation as both men and women engage in tea time discussions. The air is permeated with an aura of leisure and refinement. Notably, the presence of crinoline-clad ladies highlights the influence of Western fashion on Japanese society at the time. A servant attends to their needs while music fills the air from an unseen source. "The salon" captures a moment frozen in time—a harmonious blend between traditional ukiyo-e art style and elements borrowed from foreign cultures. This fusion reflects Japan's openness to embracing new ideas during its period of rapid modernization. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable print, they are invited to immerse themselves in an enchanting world where cultural exchange intertwines with artistic beauty—an enduring testament to the power of art transcending borders and bridging diverse societies throughout history.
