A Picture of Dontaku in Yokohama Artist: Sadahide Date: February 2, 1861 Dontaku is the Japanese word for the Dutch word Zon dag, which means Sunday (just like Saturday is called a half-day). This is a picture of foreign residents enjoying their day off, with people from five different countries in the front: French, Russian, American, English, and Norwegian. The “Baba Keseki House” on the far right is the two-story British First Building. William Keseki, who was appointed as the first branch manager of Jardine Matheson & Co. in Japan, was called Keseki by Yokohama residents. Baba means harbor, and Keseki was probably called “Baba Keseki” (Keseki of the harbor). The pier you can see on the left is the foreign wharf, and is now the large pier for foreign shipping routes.
