"Views of Savage Countries" is a notable woodblock print series created by the Japanese artist Utagawa Yoshitora and published in 1866. This series is a fascinating example of Yokohama-e, a genre of ukiyo-e woodblock prints that emerged during the late Edo period, depicting foreigners and scenes of foreign lands, particularly those associated with the port city of Yokohama. The prints in this series reflect the curiosity and fascination that Japanese society held towards the Western world and other foreign cultures during a time of significant political and social change.

Utagawa Yoshitora, a prominent member of the Utagawa school, was known for his dynamic and colorful prints that often depicted historical events, kabuki actors, and beautiful women. However, his "Views of Savage Countries" series stands out as a unique exploration of the exotic and the unknown. The term "savage" in the title reflects the 19th-century Japanese perspective on foreign lands, which were often viewed with a mix of intrigue and apprehension.

The series captures various imagined scenes of foreign countries, blending elements of reality with artistic interpretation. These prints offer a glimpse into how Japanese artists and the public perceived the outside world during the Bakumatsu period, a time when Japan was transitioning from centuries of isolation under the Tokugawa shogunate to the more open and internationally engaged Meiji era. The depictions often include fantastical elements and are not always accurate representations of the cultures they portray, but they provide valuable insight into the Japanese mindset and the cultural exchanges of the time.

"Views of Savage Countries" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. It serves as a cultural artifact that illustrates the complexities of Japan's interactions with the wider world during a pivotal moment in its history. The series remains an important subject of study for those interested in Japanese art, history, and the broader narrative of East-West relations in the 19th century.
