Description: Ryukyu Tribute Ship Folding Screen, 19th century (circa 1830). A Chinese-style ship with the flag "Return to Japan" in the center. People welcoming it to the rock wall. The "Ryukyu Tribute Ship Folding Screen" depicts the bustling Naha Port when the tribute ship dispatched by Ryukyu to China returned to Japan. In the picture, the samurai of the Kagoshima feudal clan, a structure peculiar to Ryukyu called a castle, and a rowing event of a dragon boat, etc. The customs of modern Ryukyu that have a relationship are condensed. In recent years, during the restoration of Shiga Omoto, a document from the Satsuma Domain Edo Domain was discovered in the folding screen. It is a dismantling of several notebooks related to various payments in the late modern period, around 1830, and this discovery proves that the Satsuma domain was involved in the production of folding screens. Collection of Kyoto University Museum.
