(Japonisme) - Japonisme, a French term, refers to the influence of Japanese art and design on Western European artists in the 19th century following Japan's reopening to foreign trade in 1858. While most evident in the visual arts, its impact extended to architecture, landscaping, and decorative arts. Japanese ceramics, metalwork, lacquerware, and cloisonné enamels, which flourished during the Meiji era (1868–1912), captivated European audiences through world fairs and galleries. Enthusiastic writings by critics and collectors further fueled the trend, inspiring Western artists and craftsmen to integrate Japanese styles and motifs into their work.
