  Japonism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Japonism (also in French Japonisme and Japonaiserie) is the influence of Japanese art on Western, primarily French, artists.
Following the Meiji restoration in 1868, Japan ended a long period of national isolation and became open to imports from the West, including photography and printing techniques and in turn, many Japanese ukiyo-e prints and other artworks came to Europe and America and soon gained popularity.
Japonism started with the frenzy to collect Japanese art, particularly print art (ukiyoe), of which the first samples were to be seen in Paris.

Four months later that thrifty sale purchase was the top lot in Freeman’s September 24th and 25th sale of Fine English and Continental Furniture and Decorative Arts, selling for $62,000 to a French bidder who triumphed over competition from Israel, Belgium, Saudi Arabia and England as well as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
The table was attributed to the French artisan and leader of the ‘Japonism’ movement Edouard Lievre, who trained as a painter under Thomas Coture before turning his attention to industrial design.
One of three known examples of this particular design – one of which resides in the Musee d’Orsay – the rosewood and gilt bronze mounted center table was made circa 1880 and estimated at $15,000-20,000.

John de Gruchy "orients" Waley as a member of an elite Anglo-Jewish family, a top graduate of Rugby and Cambridge, and a younger member of the Bloomsbury Group.
He examines how these social contexts influenced Waley's work, and he further locates Waley's Japanese translations within the political contexts of the japonism movement, British socialism and imperialism, and the development of Japanese studies in England.
How a "cult of things Japanese" in the early modern period in Britain led to the emergence of one of the twentieth century's most important translators is a fascinating story in itself.

 H-Net Review: Patricia Welch on Orienting Arthur Waley: Japonism, Orientalism, and the Creation of Japanese Literature ...
He maintains that Waley's interest in Japanese literature was a product of nineteenth-century japonism and Anglo-Japanese imperialisms, as well as of three aspects of his identity: his Judaism, ambiguous sexuality, and socialist leanings.
These are, firstly, the socio-historical developments in Japan, which resulted in its recognition as a powerful nation state in the world arena, and secondly, the cultural transition in Britain from aestheticism to early modernism that occurred at roughly the same time.
Paradoxically, the institutionalization of japonism at the height of the late-nineteenth-century aesthetic movement coincided with recognition, in some parts, that Japan "was a serious economic competitor in the Far East that had to be known, and contained, without delay (p.

Yet they are essential insofar as the Rousseau set holds an important place in the history of styles, one that traditionally makes it the earliest example of japonism in French ceramics.
Besides, a steady demand until the beginning of the second world war confirmed the success met by the enterprise of the editor François-Eugène Rousseau from its beginnings in 1866.
It thus seemed useful to give some details about him through this documentary exhibition, in the year when japonism was the theme of a large exhibition in the Grand Palais.

Hailed recently as "the greatest translator of Asian literature ever to have lived," Arthur Waley (1889-1966) had an immeasurable influence on Western perceptions of Asia and on the development of Asian studies in the West.
A younger and less well known affiliate of the Bloomsbury Group, Waley (1889-1966) is usually thought merely to have followed Ezra Pound's example in translating Asian literature.
But de Gruchy (English language and literature, Kagoshima Immaculate Heart College) argues that in fact he followed a distinctly Anglo- European tradition of orientalism, paid much less attention to Pound than Pound liked to believe, and was a key figure in the English modernist tradition of Japanese culture.

Jazz was created when the African rhythm met the European instruments.
The French impressionists such as Manet, Monet, Degas, Bonnard, Lautrec, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Debussy, Proust were all fascinated by the Japanese paintings and the influence was later called "Japonism." When jazz met the Japanese music, the environment was prepared for WaFoo to create a new form of art.
At the same time, the original concept of the ensemble was evolved into WaFoo's mission statement.
