This scroll depicts 48 foreigners, including Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Thai (Siam), Armenian, American, Filipino, Sumatran and many others. The foreigners are represented in pairs and accompanied with short descriptions. Because of trade relationships with the Europeans and the Chinese, many such paintings were produced in Japan during this period.
