The Japanese Influence on the Manufacture and Painting of Folding Screens in New Spain during the 17th Century
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The absorption and interpretation of Japanese images and techniques by Western artists and scientists are often related to the phenomenon of Japonism of the 19 th and 20 th centuries. However, three hundred years before the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the successful development of sea routes connecting the Eastern countries with Europe through the ports in the New World led to a substantial, though not as significant as that of the 19 th century, influx of Japanese objects to Spanish colonies which is proved by the data of museum collections of the New and the Old World. Among them, of particular importance are painted folding screens (Spanish biombo ) which, according to historical sources, were highly valued by the dwellers of Mexico City in the 17 th century. The author puts forward a hypothesis that the close interaction of different visual cultures reflected in the phenomenon of Japonism conditioned by an intensive cooperation of cultures in the late 19 th century and globalisation in the 20 th century, had appeared earlier. Analysis of the historical and artistic contexts demonstrates that it is possible to speak about the fact that the artists and public of 17 th century New America were not only acquainted with the works of Japanese art but also about a phenomenon similar to the Japonism of the turn of the 20 th century, i.e. the absorption of the principles and techniques of Japanese art by masters of the Spanish colonies of the 17 th century and its influence on the formation of the peculiarities of the local artistic language.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
