Symbols of Esteem: Courtly Gifts in the British Royal Collection

The royal and imperial families of Britain and Japan have enjoyed a dynamic relationship for over four centuries. Exchanging diplomatic gifts has been central to this interaction, and many of the works of art presented are replete with symbolism. From the 16-petalled imperial chrysanthemum, to cranes, phoenixes and the ‘three-friends-of-winter’ motif, emblems have been carefully selected to express political and personal friendship. This lecture will explore how courtly gift-giving drew on ancient symbols to forge new cultural links. It will examine the role of the Japanese landscape, East Asian mythology and European heraldry in giving visual form to courtly goodwill.

Ozu Yasujirō’s Tokyo Story is universally acknowledged as one of the most significant Japanese films ever made, and regularly cited as one of the greatest films of all time in polls of leading critics and filmmakers around the world.

The presentation will combine a close analysis of the film’s key locations with discussion of its representation of Japanese society at a time of great cultural change. He will also situate Tokyo Story within various contemporary critical and industrial contexts and examine the multiple international dimensions of the film’s long after-life.
