About the Item
Attributed to Ukita Ikkei (1795-1859)

Ink on paper,
L. 130 x W. 29 cm (scroll)
H. 28 x W. 19 cm (painting)
Based on the description by Kan-no Hachiro of the return of Perry’s ship to the bay of Edo in 1854, Ukita Ikkei presumably made this painting. The artist’s family name was Toyotomi and the first name Kõshin later changed to Yoshitame and finally Ikkei.
Kan-no (1810-1880) was a peasant from the village of Iwashiro. In 1854 he saw Perry’s ship passing on the way to Edo Bay. Kan-no was an ardent follower of the Sonno foi Movement, a movement advocating loyalty to the Emperor and the expulsion of foreigners.
Despite his low status, he became a significant and famous figure in the Sonno foi Movement, and for this, he was punished by the Edo Bakufu, the Shogun government. He was banished to Hachijyo, a small island far away in the Pacific Ocean.
Perry’s first violation of Japanese autonomy was on the third day of the sixth month of 1853 (July 8), on the eleventh day of the first month of 1854 (February) he was back in the Bay of Uraga, and on the 31st of March the Convention of Kanagawa, opening the ports of Hakodate and Shimoda to American vessels, was signed.

His father owned sailing ships sailing to Indonesia and hearing the stories of the returning captains evoked in the young Nieuwenkamp an obsession for distant lands and adventure. After a failed attempt by his father to have his son make a career in his business, Nieuwenkamp attended the Academy for Decorative Art in Amsterdam. However, he left within one year to go his own way. He was an autodidact and a great experimenter with new techniques, particularly in the art of etching. Nieuwenkamp was a very focused man with the discipline of a scientist tempered by the sensitivity of an artist, a lust for adventure, a natural appreciation for ethnic arts and an enormous ambition to tread new paths. In 1898 he visited Indonesia for the first time and on his second visit in 1903-1904 he went on to Bali and became the first foreign artist to love Bali and the Balinese with a passion. Having secured agreements with several museums in the Netherlands to obtain Balinese art and objects for their collections, Nieuwenkamp immediately started to purchase and order a wide range of ethnographic art and objects from local artists and craftsmen. Through his drawings and books, he gave an excellent impression of Balinese art and culture at that time. Since 1854 Northern Bali was under Dutch...Category
