Description

Handscroll depicting the Dutch factory at Dejima Pap, Japan, paintings and drawings After 1639 the Dutch were the only Europeans allowed to trade in Japan. They were confined to Dejima, a small artificial island in Nagasaki Harbour, where their activities were closely regulated. This handscroll, read from right to left, shows the Dutch on Dejima and was painted by a Japanese artist to entertain and inform a senior shogunal official. Dutch ships came to Dejima only once a year. At other times life there was quiet for the Dutch. Waited on by their Javanese servants, they amused themselves by listening to music, tending the garden and playing billiards.
