✦内容简介——

这是大英博物馆的一本出版物，展示了 18 世纪末和 19 世纪作为日本文化沙龙一部分而创作的这些技术精湛的艺术品，这些艺术品描绘了日常生活和节日中生动的人物、优雅的花鸟、凶猛的动物和抒情的风景。文化沙龙是社会各阶层人士共同追求绘画、诗歌和其他艺术创作的创意空间。

今天，许多人认为艺术家和诗人是专业人士或有特殊天赋的人。

然而，在近代早期的日本，许多人加入了文化活动团体，以认真但业余的方式追求各种艺术。

出于各种动机，各行各业的人--年轻人、老年人、妇女和男子--都踊跃参加这些团体。

每个人都使用笔名或艺名。因此，个人可以通过这些艺术活动进行社交和广泛交流，而不受幕府政府规定的正式社会地位的影响。

尤其是在京都和大阪周边地区，集体协作创作的理念似乎已经根深蒂固。

这两座城市相距很近，但在地理位置上却远离幕府所在地江户（今东京），每座城市都有自己的特色： 京都是天皇和贵族居住的国都，而大阪则是商业中心。这些技术精湛的艺术作品中，只有一小部分以前出版过彩色版本。

本书收录了由专家撰写的六篇文章，从不同角度探讨了这一引人入胜的文化现象，并收录了八篇短文，深入探讨了具体的历史问题以及文化名人的个人联系和遗产，为读者提供了一个了解 18 世纪晚期和 19 世纪日本艺术和社会的全新视角。

The first publication to celebrate the British Museum’s rich collection of these 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. Cultural salons were creative spaces for people of all social levels to jointly pursue painting, poetry and other artistic endeavours.

Many people today think of artists and poets as professionals or specially gifted.

In early modern Japan, however, large numbers of people joined cultural activity groups to pursue diverse kinds of arts as serious but amateur practitioners.

With a variety of motivations, people from all walks of life – young and old, women and men – participated enthusiastically in these circles.

Everyone 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.

In the area around Kyoto and Osaka especially, the idea of communal and collaborative creativity seems to have been deeply engrained.

Each of the two cities, located close to each other but geographically remote from Edo (modern-day Tokyo), the seat of the shogun’s government, had a distinct character: Kyoto, the national capital where the emperor and aristocrats resided, and Osaka, the centre of commerce. Only a fraction of these technically sophisticated artworks has previously been published in colour.

With six 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.
