New Acquaintance introduces the reader to the historical, political, cultural milieu of the inception of Japonisme in East-Central Europe - which was as special for the young Monarchy as it was for the newly restored Japanese Empire. Part Two, Travelling Artworks, concentrates on the reception, collecting and interpretation of Japanese works of art in Central Europe. The third unit. Artists and Artworks discusses classicthemes of Japonisme, such as painting, graphic arts, ceramics, glassmaking, and theatrical arts with a twist. Catalysts of Japonisme, the last segment concentrates on the cultural, political, social phenomena and ambience in Central Europe, which provided a fertile ground to the embracing of Japan, its culture and made citizens ofthe Monarchy more open to new impulses arriving from the East than ever before. The authors and editors hope that the present book will prove worthy to become a tangible memory of the 150-year-long respect and appreciation of Japan and its culture in the East-Central European region, our common heritage, as well as igniting new, original, and challenging initiatives in the field of Japonisme research in our region and beyond.
