Ships in Nagasaki Harbor
Pictures by Utagawa Hiroshige II
Utagawa Hiroshige II's 1859 woodblock print shows a towering Chinese junk with red banners and a painted stern, moored in the calm blue harbor of Nagasaki. For two centuries this port was Japan's main window on the outside world, open only to Dutch and Chinese ships, and an old map of the city fills the inside. For a traveler or anyone who loves Japanese prints.
