The Dutch Settlement at Nagasaki. Japan, Edo period, 18th CE. In this section of the handscroll Dutch men can be seen in one room seated at a high table (a strange custom to contemporary Japanese) for a meal. Next door they listen to music, played by African servants on European instruments. Dutch and Chinese traders were the only foreigners permitted to enter Japan for over two hundred years, from 1639 to 1854. Moreover, they were confined to certain areas of the port of Nagasaki. From a pair of handscroll paintings. Inv. AC 1944,1014,023(&Others).
