Yokohama Boomtown: Foreigners in Treaty-Port Japan (1859-1872)
"This window on the imagined life of foreigners in Japan at the dawn of the modern era is based on the catalogue of the 1990 exhibition at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Yokohama: Prints from Nineteenth-Century Japan, by Ann Yonemura." The ESSAY section provides historical background and analysis; the VISUAL NARRATIVES section "enables the user to scroll through two sequences of Yokohama prints" -- one sequence telling the story of foreign settlement in Yokohama, the other surveying the scene through the work of woodblock artist Sadahide. A CURRICULUM section for teachers and students can be found under the "Yokohama Boomtown" menu at the top of the page.
