English: Kano Naizen's "Arrival of the Southern Barbarians Screen" circa 1600, from the Kobe City Museum Collection. This six-fold byōbu (lacquer and gilded screen) shows foreigners arriving at a shore of Japan during the Nanban trade.
The ship depicts a Nanban ship arriving at a Japanese port after a voyage from a foreign country, unloading traded goods, a group of Capitan's who landed, Jesuit missionaries, Franciscan monks, and Japanese believers welcoming them. .. The karamono shop sells traded goods such as tiger and leopard fur, silk fabrics and ceramics. At the back of the Karamonoya is Nanban-ji Temple, where ceremonies are held in front of the altar with the statue of the Messiah. It is a good representation of the reality of Nanban trade, where trade and missionary work were integrated, with the main focus being intermediary trade. It also features many rare beasts from Nanban, such as elephants, Arabian horses, and greyhound dogs. Relentlessly detailed depictions, lively portraits, and vibrant colors make Kano Naizen a prominent figure in the Nanban folding screens.
