Nippon Japan through the eyes of Philipp Franz von Siebold, 1832-1852

Nippon 250 x 320 mm | 366 pages 86,000 words full colour illustrations | hardcover all rights available, except for English rights English manuscript available TAKE A LOOK

This centuries-old masterpiece offers a unique glimpse of a country that continues to intrigue people today The fine illustrations by Japanese artists give a wealth of information about ancient rituals, scenery, the art of war, court culture and much more

Japan was isolated almost completely from the West for more than two hundred years, from 1641 to 1854. One of the first Westerners to penetrate that barrier and reveal fundamental information about the country – and the Far East in general – was Philipp Franz von Siebold (1796-1866), a doctor from Würzburg in Germany. From 1823 to 1829 he lived on the small island of Dejima, a Dutch trading post in Nagasaki that was then the only point of contact between Japan and the West.

4,000 copies sold

Full of ambition, Siebold was sent from the Dutch East Indies to Japan with the task of gathering as much information as possible about the country, its geography, its people, religion, customs and traditional costumes. Working with Japanese artists including Kawahara Keiga and Hokusai, Siebold embarked on an unprecedented visual and scientific project, culminating in the book Nippon. In this publication of Nippon, we give Siebold’s work a new lease of life that lets us understand the Japan he saw. This edition includes all the original prints, while newly written essays and commentaries introduce the present-day reader to Nippon's most striking stories and details.

How wonderful that this remarkable book is now receiving the recognition - and the admiring readers - it has always deserved.

This publication is the result of a collaboration with Leiden University Libraries. The editors are Kuniko Forrer and Matthi Forrer. Kuniko is a book historian who has worked at Japan Museum Siebold Huis since 2012. Matthi is an art historian and authority on Japan. He is currently a senior researcher on the Japanese and Korean collection at Leiden’s Wereldmuseum.

In the accompanying text, playwright Tom Morton-Smith (My Neighbour Totoro, Oppenheimer) looks at Rovenko’s photographs with the sense of wonder of a child.
