Description
Nederlands: De Nederlanders brengen tijdens de hofreis geschenken naar het hof van de shogun, de militaire leider van Japan. De shogun laat een lijst opstellen met de zaken die hij wil ontvangen, deze afbeelding van een porpolaat is daar een voorbeeld van. De porpolaat kennen wij tegenwoordig als de helmparelhoen (numidae meleagris), een vogel die afkomstig is uit Afrika. In de eerste helft van de 18e eeuw worden vele exotische dieren naar Japan vervoerd, zoals jachthonden, paarden, vogels, kamelen en zelfs een olifant. De meeste van deze dieren worden daarna in Japan als huisdier of attractie gebruikt.
English: On their journey to the court, the Dutch took gifts to the Shogun, Japan’s military ruler. The Shogun had a list drawn up of the objects he wished to receive. This picture features a ‘porpolaat’ as an example of a Dutch gift. Nowadays, this bird is known as the helmeted guinea fowl (numidae merleagris), a species originating from Africa. In the first half of the 18th century many exotic animals were brought to Japan, including hounds, horses, birds, camels and even an elephant. Most of these animals later became pets or served as attractions.
