Japonisme in Decorative and Art Design-Its Formation of the Idea and Execution in the Occident

在这三年里，我们主要在英国、法国、比利时、德国、西班牙和美国学习装饰艺术和设计方面的日本风。这份作业是关于装饰性艺术和设计的，因为这一流派被认为是次要的艺术，所以日本人的研究没有认真研究过。我们还分析了日本文学作品中欧洲人如何看待日本文化的话语。结论是，尽管地域和国家不同，但西方对日本的“自然主义”、“高水平的工艺美术”、“卓越的技艺”和“贴近日常生活”的评价很高，这意味着一种欧洲和美国人不知道的新范式伴随着日本艺术和文化的知识而诞生。

During these three years, we have studied on Japonisme in decorative art and design, mainly in Great Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Spain and the United States of America. This assignment dealt with decorative art and design which Japonisme studies had not seriously worked on, because this genre was considered as minor art. We also analyzed the discourse in Japonisme writings how the European people saw the Japanese culture.In conclusion, despite differences in area and country, Japanese "naturalism","high rank of craft art", "outstanding technique", and "closeness to daily life"were highly estimated in Occident.It means that a new paradigm which Europe and America had not known was born with the knowledge of Japanese art and culture.
