Very good. Light soiling. Minor restoration, upper right corner. Size 14 x 27 Inches. A scarce ukiyo-e (more specifically, nishiki-e ) triptych depicting lively scenes aboard a German naval ship, prepared by the artist Unsen c. 1874. It is an example of Japan's flourishing interest in foreign technology and practices in the early Meiji period and specifically represents the special connection between the Prussian-led German Empire and the Empire of Japan. A Closer Look A German naval ship is depicted at anchor, presumably off the coast of Yokohama, Japan's main port for trade and interaction with foreigners. Like many ships of the era, it employs a combination of steam power and sails. The deck is a bustle of motion with gunners, rigging monkeys, and other sailors engaged in various activities, including firing a cannon at left, likely to announce their arrival in port (the row boat being lowered at right also indicates close proximity to shore). The ship's interior is mostly presented in cross-section to display its rooms. The captain (??) and first mate's (??) quarters are labeled at the right, the galley (??) at the center towards the right, a room for training soldiers (??) at the left, and a variety of other rooms for guns, shells, horses, and other military equipment. Lower-ranking sailors (??, ??, and ??) are seen conducting drills, resting, and horsing around. Two other foreign vessels can be seen in the background at right, again suggesting the location of Yokohama. The prominent stamp at the top-right reads 'newly discovered' or 'new discovery' (???), appealing to the sensibility of the intended audience, educated (literate) and curious about the outside world. Considering all these factors, the work could arguably be classified as Yokohama-e (???), the genre of ukiyo-e dealing with foreigners and foreign technology, culture, and influences in Yokohama, which was extremely popular at this time. The German Connection Japan underwent a dramatic transformation in the mid-late 19th century, beginning with the arrival of American 'black ships' in Tokyo Bay in 1853. First under the dying Tokugawa Shogunate, and much more intensely under the new Meiji government, foreign ideas and technologies were sought out and adapted to rapidly modernize Japan. Though Meiji reformers naturally looked to Britain, as it was the most powerful country at the time, they searched far and wide for inspiration and found it in the German Empire. The two countries shared an affinity as 'latecomers' to national unity and modernization. The Prussian system with a powerful emperor at the core of a constitutional monarchy appealed to the leaders of the Meiji Restoration, which was ostensibly undertaken to return the emperor to political centrality. (Japan's 1889 Meiji Constitution closely models the Prussian one.) German universities, factories, and scientists were also among Europe's most active and advanced, providing a model for Japan. Finally, having defeated Austria and France in short order in the late 1860s and early 1870s, the Prussian military was seen as a premier and cutting-edge force, likely a factor in the production of this work. Nishiki-e (??) Nishiki-e (literally 'brocade picture,' also known as Edo-e ??? because it began in the Tokugawa capital of Edo) is a style of woodblock printing that developed in the 1760s and revolutionized the medium. Instead of producing a black and white print which was then hand-colored, or perhaps with one or two color blocks added, as had been done previously, nishiki-e prints allowed for the combination of many blocks, each adding one color to a complete image, which were fitted together perfectly. The result was that vibrantly-colored prints could be produced in greater numbers in far less time, allowing for widespread distribution of woodblock prints, especially ukiyo-e . Nishiki-e remained the dominant mode of woodblock printing through the Meiji era and was critical to the distribution of prints th.…
