It is a deep crimson color. Additionally, the pair is dressed in expensive embroidered clothing and accessories. The fact that the man in the portrait appears to be holding a document suggests that he is well-off and educated.

Europe's influence

Europe's influence on Japan

Particularly in the areas of trade and culture, Europe had a major impact on Japan in the 1400s. In 1543, the Portuguese became the first Europeans to set foot in Japan, bringing with them Christianity, firearms, and new commercial possibilities. The adoption of new types of art, building, and clothing resulted from the Japanese people's fascination with European culture and technology. Francis Xavier, a Jesuit missionary, made a major contribution to the spread of Christianity in Japan. Additionally, novel crops like tobacco and sweet potatoes were introduced to Japan by European traders. Europe's effect on Japan grew over the centuries and left a significant mark on Japanese culture and society.

Japenese Coffer

Coffer in Nanban style

The coffer was made during the period of 1600-1630 in a style known as Nanban, which translates to Southern Barbarians. It was designed specifically for the Portuguese and European markets and exhibits a variety of cultural influences. While its shape is reminiscent of European-style chests, it also incorporates Indian designs. The coffer was most likely utilized for the transportation and shipment of goods and textiles.

After contact with the Portuguese at Tanegashima in 1542, the Japanese were initially wary and wary of foreign newcomers. Over time, however, Japan's interactions with Europe will have a major impact on the continent. The Japanese introduced new technologies and cultural customs to Europeans, such as tea drinking and ceramics. Additionally, trade between Japan and Europe facilitated the exchange of goods and ideas, leading to a wider understanding and appreciation of Japanese culture in Europe. Although Europeans first suffered a culture shock when they arrived in Japan, this encounter ultimately had a lasting impact on Japan and Europe.
