The Japanese Chin: Royal Japanese Presents
The Japanese Chin has not always been known as the Chin "Japanese." At the beginning of the chin Japanese in Europe and America was known as the Japanese Spaniel and although called "Japanese," there is no real proof that its native land is Japan. Several Japanese historians believe the term of Chin Chin "must have been a translation error.
The dog's chin in Japan was written in the decade 1960 by Mr. Koichi uoi, Dr. Hideo Wakui and Dr. Seikoh Yoshida. This book added a warning about the name, which states: "The chin is up now called" Japanese Spaniel "in Europe and America, but the term must be a translation error, since the chin is neither of the Spanish line, not a house. Take the opportunity to publish this book, we suggest you call it 'chin'. "Still another writer feels he has been a greater evil-translation and that" the Spanish line "Should read" poodle. "
The Japanese Chin comes into contact with the West through trade between England and Japan which began in 1549. At that time it was customary gifts exchanged. Japanese Chin historians believe that it is likely that the Japanese "race of dogs was part of the trade and gifts.
In 1613 Captain Saris returned from Japan with the dogs by the King as a gift from the emperor. It is considered that these dogs were probably Japanese Spaniel.
The historian Kaempfer visited Japan in 1691 for the Company of the Netherlands East Indies. He says as the reigning emperor (Kin-Sen, 1687) came to the throne, there were more dogs bred in Japan than anywhere else. The Japanese have always had a special love for the breeding of dogs.
The main factor for Japan to East India Company from 1615-1623 was a man named Richard Cocks. Mr. Cocks kept a diary of events during this period of time as the main factor. He complained about the huge amount of gifts needed to help maintain the smooth trade relations between the Japanese and the British. The dogs were presented as imperial gifts very often. The custom of presenting the Imperial gifts dogs and persisted until the mid-19th century.
In the 19th century Japan was perceived as a country of real importance to the U.S.. ports in Japan and the coal was the main route from San Francisco to Shanghai.
Contact the English speaking world ended in 1623. In 1852 a new American expedition visited Japan under the command of Commodore Matthew Perry Calbraith. When Perry arrived off the coast of Japan on July 8, 1853 brought several gifts that were delivered to the Japanese with a grand ceremony. Among the gifts were:
• A quarter of the size of the miniature steam engine, track, and the car tender
• A copper boat Francisco
• One of surf boat copper
• Audubon Birds in nine vols.
• Natural History of New York, vols sixteen.
• Silver-topped vanity
• Neighbourhood Madeira cask
• whiskey barrel
• Telescope and stand in the box
• silk dress embroidered with flowers
• Six dozen assorted perfumery.
The Japanese were delighted with the generosity of Americans. However, the Americans were not so impressed by the gifts of the Japanese.
The gifts were seven Japanese Chins Japanese (and why the Japanese loved his dogs, they are probably thought to be extra special and precious gifts.) Four Japanese Chins were given to the Commodore as a gift for the President. Speiden William, son of the fleet surcharge There was also a Chin. Two other Japanese Chin were returned to the United States aboard a ship separately. All totaled five Japanese Chins taken the vessel itself Perry board. Three of these lovely creatures were reported killed in the road. Two of them were later transferred to British admiral ship of Stirling and finally presented to Queen Victoria. Two Japanese Chins reached New York safely and were given to Mrs. Augusta Belmont, daughter of Perry.
The Commodore later learned that there are three items in Japan, as he understood it, was always a part of this Imperial. These were:
• Rice
• Dried Fish
• And the dogs.
Some also said charcoal was included. No doubt all of these items is a type of symbol for the Japanese people, of whom were not aware of. The charcoal was part of the gifts given at this time. And four small dogs of rare species was sent to the President as part of the Japanese Emperor's Gift to U.S. public also impressions tell us two were placed on board the flagship Stirling of His Majesty of England.
The dogs were always part of a Japanese Real Present. And it was always the kind you never see running on the streets. They were transported in beautiful straw baskets when they were taken abroad. It was understood that the Japanese Real presents "dogs", and specifically the Japanese Chin were "weird and costly. "
On the contrary, those things considered "special" to the Americans was a telescope standing on a box, a barrel of whiskey New York History books, books on birds ……… Apparently, the Japanese believed that Americans were very generous people, and Americans felt the puppies, rice, dried fish and charcoal was a poor display is not worth more than a thousand dollars, he said.
I prefer little dogs myself! I would delighted and very happy to have received a bit of Japanese Chins compared with a barrel of whiskey and books on birds or the history of the city of New York!
I think all of us today who love the Japanese Chin it realize that the Japanese people realized that they are a great treasure to receive and possess. For some of us, are still "Real's" Japanese.
