ASSOCIATION CONFERENCES ENROLMENT FORM LINKS  

Japan was the last meeting point of the Portuguese with the Orient and one of the most fruitful. After 460 years of the disembark of the Portuguese at Tanegashima and 400 years after the composition of the grammar " Arte da Língua de Japan" by Father Rodrigues from the Society of Jesus, contemporaneous of the rising to the power of shogunato Tokugawa, we would like to propose a debate about Japanese art and Culture, from their exquisite lacquers, textiles and painting with the immortalization of the arriving at Nagasaki of the big black boat, as is represented on the renowed Namban screens, to the fascination that Japanese art evokes for today’s collectors.
