exhibition
Japan, during the Meiji era, opened itself to the rest of the world after millennia of isolation. This peaceful opening marked the decline of feudal power and the beginning of a new era characterized by industrialization and technological advancements. Concurrently, the world discovered a fascinating civilization through adventurers and collectors who brought back prints, objects, and paintings. This culture significantly influenced the artistic fields of the time. At the 1867 Universal Exposition, France was introduced to Japan through a pavilion showcasing a traditional habitat. These exchanges contributed to the evolution of Western decorative arts in the early 20th century, integrating Japanese motifs and techniques.
