Nippon
Japan door de ogen van Philipp Franz von Siebold, 1832-1852Meer dan twee eeuwen lang was Japan nagenoeg volledig afgesloten voor het Westen. Alleen de Nederlanders hadden via hun handelspost op Deshima, een kunstmatig eilandje bij Nagasaki, toegang tot het mysterieuze land. Pas in 1823, met de aankomst van de ambitieuze arts Philipp Franz von Siebold, zou daar verandering in komen. In opdracht van koning Willem I en samen met vermaarde Japanse kunstenaars als Keiga en Hokusai verzamelde Siebold zo veel mogelijk informatie over het land, de cultuur en de natuur. In 1826 nam hij bovendien deel aan de uitzonderlijke hofreis naar Edo, een tocht van 2500 kilometer door Japan. Na zijn gedwongen terugkeer naar Europa verzette hij hemel en aarde om alle kennis samen te brengen in één monumentaal werk: Nippon. Deze unieke heruitgave in één band bevat alle originele platen met fascinerende afbeeldingen van de oude rituelen, krijgskunst, hofcultuur, klederdracht, landschappen en nog veel meer. Japan-deskundigen Kuniko Forrer en Matthi Forrer geven historische duiding en voorzien alle illustraties van uitgebreide commentaar. Annejet van der Zijl verzorgt de inleiding. Dit hernieuwde Nippon doet zo wat Siebold ambieerde: de lezer introduceren tot het land van de shogun, en verwondering wekken over de bijzondere schoonheid van Japan. 'Dit zeldzame topstuk krijgt nu eindelijk het mooie tweede leven dat het verdient' - Annejet van der Zijl, auteur van De zwevende wereld. De verbonden levens van Franz von Siebold en Kusumoto Ine

Nippon
Japan through the Eyes of Philipp Franz von Siebold, 1832-1852In 1823, the German physician Philipp Franz von Siebold arrived in Japan, which had been closed off to the West for nearly two centuries. There - while working from the tiny Dutch trading post Deshima - he was granted the unusual privilege to travel beyond the artificial island. This allowed him to work alongside renowned Japanese artists such as Keiga and Hokusai to glean as much information as possible about the country, its culture and its natural landscapes, introducing Japan to the Western world in texts and stunning images. The highlight for Siebold was the Court Journey to Edo in 1826, a trip of 2,500 kilometres across Japan. That journey and his compulsive urge to collect objects would come back to haunt him, though. In 1829, he was arrested on suspicion of espionage and banished from the country for life; the Japanese who had helped him were exiled, tortured and imprisoned for the rest of their lives. Despite that experience, once back in Europe, he made huge efforts to collate all his knowledge about Japan in a single monumental work, Nippon. This unique single-volume reissue contains all the original plates, featuring fascinating illustrations of Japanese rituals, warfare, court culture, traditional dress, landscapes and much more. Kuniko Forrer and Matthi Forrer, experts on Japan, provide the historical context and detailed commentary accompanying all the illustrations. This new edition of Nippon achieves what Siebold set out to do: introducing readers to the land of the shogun and inspiring wonder at the extraordinary beauty of Japan. 'This rare masterpiece is finally getting the wonderful new lease of life it deserves' - Annejet van der Zijl, author of the bestselling biography of Franz von Siebold and Kusumoto Ine

Surimono in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
Surimono (literally 'printed things') constitute one of the most delicate genres in Japanese printmaking. This genre fascinates because it combines poetry and image and because it presents a pictorial puzzle, which provides the viewer with a particular insight into the intellectual and literary world of late 18th- and early 19th-century Edo (today's Tokyo). Major artists such as Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Kunisada, Totoya Hokkei and Yashima Gakutei, to name but a few, provided imagery to accompany the poetic exploits of poetry club members. The prints were circulated among networks of poets and friends and, in contrast to other prints of the period, were not produced for commercial gain. Intricate still lifes, historical and mythical heroes, actors on the stage and tranquil landscapes form a visual partnership with the witty poems (kyōka). The beauty of these prints is enhanced by the astonishing printing quality, including the use of metallic pigments and blindprinting. The Rijksmuseum Amsterdam is home to one of the most important collections of surimono in the world. Two recent major donations have enriched the collection to such a degree that a publication documenting the complete surimono holdings of the museum is justified. The true beauty of the collection can now be appreciated in full, with all the prints illustrated in colour for the first time. Matthi Forrer's deep understanding of poetry circles and of the major artists of the time has resulted in numerous revisions of the existing descriptions and of previously established chronologies within the genre. Surimono in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam is thus an essential work of reference and at the same time a source of endless aesthetic enjoyment.
