日本的沙龙文化：艺术创作，1750-1900年，一书颂扬了大英博物馆丰富的藏品，这些藏品是18世纪末至19世纪日本文化沙龙中创作的技术精湛的艺术品，展现了日常生活和节日中的生动人物、优雅的鸟卉、凶猛的动物以及富有诗意的风景。

此书为2024年大英博物馆三菱商事日本馆特展“东京与大阪的城市生活与沙龙文化：1770-1900年”的配套书籍。

在日本近代早期，文化沙龙是各年龄段和社会阶层人士追求绘画、诗歌和其他艺术创作的创意空间，他们作为认真但业余的实践者，都使用笔名或艺名。因此，人们能够通过这些艺术活动广泛社交和互动，不受幕府政府规定的官方社会地位的限制。共同协作创作的理念似乎在京都和大阪地区尤为根深蒂固。这两座城市各具特色：京都是国家首都，天皇和贵族的居所；大阪则是商业中心。

此前，这些技术精湛的艺术品中只有一小部分曾以彩色形式出版。本书收录了五位顶尖专家的五篇论文，从不同角度探讨了这一迷人的文化现象，以及八篇短文，深入探讨了特定的历史方面、文化人物的个人联系和遗产，为读者提供了18世纪末至19世纪日本艺术和社会的全新视角。

Salon culture in Japan: making art, 1750–1900 celebrates the British Museum’s rich collection of technically sophisticated artworks created as part of Japanese cultural salons in the late 18th and 19th centuries, featuring lively figures in daily life and festivals, elegant birds and flowers, ferocious animals, and lyrical landscapes.

This book accompanies the special 2024 display in the British Museum Mitsubishi Corporation Japanese Galleries, City life and salon culture in Tokyo and Osaka: 1770–1900.

In early modern Japan, cultural salons were creative spaces for people of all ages and social levels to pursue painting, poetry and other artistic endeavours, as serious but amateur practitioners. They all used a pen- or art-name. Individuals were therefore able to socialise and interact broadly through these artistic activities, regardless of official social status as regulated by the shogunal government. The idea of communal and collaborative creativity seems to have been especially ingrained around the area of Kyoto and Osaka. Each of the two cities had a distinct character: Kyoto was the national capital, where the emperor and aristocrats resided, and Osaka was the centre of commerce.

Only a fraction of these technically sophisticated artworks has previously been published in colour. With five essays by leading experts that explore this fascinating cultural phenomenon from different angles, and eight shorter insights that delve into specific historical aspects and the personal connections and legacies of cultural figures, this book offers a new perspective on Japanese art and society in the late 18th and 19th centuries.
