Rather than a single famous object, this picture gathers a whole range of Japanese craft into one arrangement: ceramics, armour and lacquerware set out together as a display. Hand-coloring was a common finishing step on photographs of this kind, when studio workers painted tints onto the printed image to suggest the glaze of pottery, the red and black of lacquer and the metal of armour. Such views were widely sold in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when Japanese arts drew strong interest from Western collectors and museum visitors. Look closely at the layered textures and the careful grouping, which tell you as much about how these objects were presented to foreign audiences as about the objects themselves.
