The Butterfly Ballet at the Gankiro Theatre, in the Miyozaki Pleasure District in Yokohama
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a bygone era, capturing a mesmerizing moment from the past. The image depicts an enchanting scene at the Gankiro Theatre in the Miyozaki Pleasure District of Yokohama. It is an engraving that beautifully illustrates Aime Humbert's journey to Japan in 1863-1864. The focus of this snapshot is on a traditional Japanese ballet performance known as "The Butterfly Ballet". Dancers adorned in exquisite kimonos gracefully move across the stage, their delicate movements mirroring those of butterflies fluttering through a garden. The audience watches with delight and awe as they are transported into this world of elegance and beauty. Intriguingly, this engraving also provides insight into Japanese leisure activities during that time period. Spectators can be seen enjoying themselves while sipping on alcohol, fully immersed in the atmosphere created by these skilled performers. This artwork not only showcases the artistry and skill involved in traditional Japanese dance but also offers glimpses into cultural traditions and morals prevalent during this era. Geishas and folk dancers add depth to this visual narrative, highlighting Japan's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this black-and-white masterpiece captured by Leonard de Selva, we are reminded of how art has always been able to transcend time and bring history alive before our eyes.
