This exhibition brought together vastly diverse art objects produced in the West and in Japan demonstrating the close interaction between artists in all media under the influence of Japanese art and culture.
Paintings, prints, decorative arts, photographs, and clothing were obtained internationally providing an often new and penetrating dimension to the issues surrounding Japonisme in the West ( Europe and the United States) once Japan had been opened fully to western contact in the 1850s. A detailed catalogue/book was published to accompany the show and is distributed by the University of Washington Press, Seattle.
