On this site I like to show objects of Japanese Art and Craft that were made with influence of Western culture. In Art History most attention has been given to the big influence of Japanese Art on the development of Western Art and Craft in the second half of the nineteenth century.The fashion of Japonism and the influence on Impressionism and Art Nouveau is described in many Art History books and shown in many Exhibitions. Less well documented is the Western influence on Japanese Art and Craft in different historical periods,
and this site wants to show objects from this perspective .
