AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating illustrated edition with drawings from nature, six of which are reproduced in color by Félix Régamey -
This book constitutes a particularly interesting testament to the discovery of Japanese society by two French travelers at a time when the archipelago, long relatively closed to foreign influences, was gradually opening to the Western world under the impulse of political and economic transformations of the Meiji era, begun in 1868 -
The narrative is set in the context of the development of Japonism in Europe, an artistic and cultural movement that sparked growing interest in the arts, traditions, landscapes and ways of life of Japan -
