The Trading Post at Dejima
In 1641 the Dutch merchants in Japan were housed on a small fan-shaped island in Nagasaki Bay called Dejima. This handscroll affords a glimpse of the foreigners’ daily life at the post. They engage in a game of badminton, and the Japanese painter emphasized exotic aspects,
including imported animals and the European custom of tipping one’s hat as a gesture of greeting.
