Maki Ueda: Tokugawa Tsunayoshi and Engelbert Kaempfer

Maki Ueda (Artist) Tokugawa Tsunayoshi and Engelbert Kaempfer Location: Edo, Japan, 1691 Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was one of the shoguns of the Edo period in Japan, and Engelbert Kaempfer stayed in Dejima (Nagasaki) for about two years as a German doctor of the Dutch trading post. During the period of national isolation, the Netherlands was Japan’s only trading partner. The Dutch East India Company brought textiles and fragrance materials from Batavia to Nagasaki. The fragrance materials include agarwood, natural borneol, and cloves: mostly meant for incense. In order to present these goods, Kaempfer met the shogun Tsunayoshi in Edo twice, in 1691 and 1692. For the exhibition 'Ten Encounters' at Olfactory Art Keller in New York, ten artists from around the world were invited to explore encounters between two individuals that shaped culture to this day. The exhibiting artists created olfactory interpretations of the meeting of a snake queen and a wood seller, artificial intelligence and the last human on earth, a Dutch trader and a Japanese shogun, and seven other consequential encounters. Using their sense of smell, visitors to the gallery can participate in these important moments of human confluence. ‘Ten Encounters' was curated by Saskia Wilson-Brown (The Institute for Art and Olfaction) for Olfactory Art Keller. Conversation moderated by Saskia Wilson-Brown from The Institute for Art and Olfaction and Andreas Keller from Olfactory Art Keller.
