 Japanese Art and Japonisme Part I: Early English Writings - Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Japonisme has traditionally been considered to be primarily a visual arts movement, and even when it was interpreted to include music and other arts, the pictorial arts have always been thought to be the heart of the movement.
The interpretation that the pictorial arts were at the centre of Japonisme is not grounded in fact but results from the exclusive focus of nineteenth-century art historical research on the study of pictorial arts.
The study of Japonisme involves not only researching the influence of one type of works on others in the same field (such as, for example, the influence of prints on prints or of sculpture on sculpture), or in similar fields (for example, in the case of two-dimensional works, the influence of prints on paintings).

The Japonisme exhibit is an exception to this rule, since it appears to have all of the characteristics of a universally unimpressive exhibit.
Japonisme is a term used to refer to the mass democratization of European art as it was affected by the traditional functionalism and technical precision of Japanese pottery and ceramics.
Japonisme as an European movement might very well exist; as an exhibit, however, its existence is too simple and abstract.

Beardsley, Japonisme, and the Perversion of the Victorian Ideal.
Japonisme and Pre-Raphaelitism emerged in the mid-nineteenth century, the latter phenomenon fascinating the Victorians by its religious symbolism associated with medievalism.
By embracing japonisme in his unique fashion, Beardsley advanced the art of book design, pioneered by such figures as William Morris (who, by adhering to Pre-Raphaelite medievalism, resisted Japanese influence) and by Charles Ricketts and Charles Shannon (who both continued to employ Pre-Raphaelite iconography while adopting the new japonisme).

But it was through a Japanese friend, who stayed in Amsterdam for some years and is now one of the editors of the JCC Newsletter, Naoko Motojima, that I was introduced to Zen Buddhism, calligraphy, sumi–e brushdrawing, ukiyo-e prints, legends of the Samurai, silk patterns on kimonos, and much more.
He shifted the emphasis from representation to color and form for their own sake and thus anticipated the concepts of space and flatness challenged by the Post-Impressionists (Van Gogh, Gaugain).

 BOOK REVIEW OF WINTER 2001
Siegfried Wichmann, a professor at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany, is without doubt the foremost authority on Japonisme in the West.
"Japonisme" (the term was coined in 1872 by the French critic Philippe Burty) refers to the influence that Japanese art has had on the fine and decorative arts of the West, including fashion, since the mid-1850s.
This influence peaked in the 1920s with Art Deco, but is in many ways so pervasive and deeply ingrained within Western fine and decorative art traditions that one simply no longer "sees" common themes, motifs, and techniques as being Japanese.

 Japonaiserie: Discovery, Adoption, Assimilation and Creation
This contact initiated an assimilation of Japanese styles by European artists and artisans, particularly in the areas of design and construction, which ultimately molded and directed the progression of the Aesthetic Movement as a whole.
This assimilation, referred to as Japonisme or Japonaiserie by the French, "paved the way for a whole new philosophy of art and design, which led naturally to an ultimate pursuit of abstraction, while in England the same style was gradually submerged beneath the pseudo medievalism of the Arts and Crafts movement" (Aesthetic 7)
Simplicity, the definitive characteristic of Japonisme, reigns apparent throughout Godwin's designs, which also feature a use of the rectilinear construction: "Godwin's use of a combination of curved and geometric patterns in not unusual in Japanese design" (Ono 31).

I will be researching the critical reception in Japan of the Japonisme movement in Western music--how Japanese composers and scholars thought of the works by American and European composers that sought to express something "Japanese," whether thematically, musically, or both.
I am also taking classes at the University, which currently include lectures and seminars about artistic movements in France (a major center of Japonisme), late 19th century Japanese music periodicals, Gagaku (traditional Japanese court music), and Takarazuka (the all-female musical revue), as well as Japanese language classes.
The wide scope of the composition program, which encourages students to experiment with many different types of compositional methods and musical languages (while justifying their use), has given me a solid background to research the musical analyses and arguments of Japanese theorists and composers.
