● The Society for the Study of Japonisme International Symposium 2021 Japonisme and Eastern Thoughts (Religion, Philosophy, Aesthetics)
Date: 9:30‐17:20, Saturday December 4, 2021 Virtual Symposium
Organizers: The Society for the Study of Japonisme / Ebara Hatakeyama Memorial Foundation
Language: Japanese or English (with simultaneous interpretation)
Number of participants : limited to 200
Free of charge
Summary:
In the middle of the 19th century, Siebold exhibited Buddhist statues, commenting on Japanese religion and thoughts in his book Japan. In the United States, Pumpelly influenced John La Farge with his detailed accounts of Buddhism and Shintoism. Numerous painters, from Van Gogh and Gauguin to Redon and Klee, were also inspired by the Buddhist ideas. Institutions such as Paris’s Guimet Museum and Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts set up special exhibition rooms for the Buddhist statues. At around the same time, Theosophists as well as Edwin Arnold disseminated Eastern philosophy, while the World’s Parliament of Religions, held in Chicago in 1893, put Eastern religious thoughts on the global map.
The reception of Eastern thoughts in Europe and the US continued to develop in the 20th century. Okakura Kakuzō’s The Book of Tea and Suzuki Daisetsu’s Zen propagated Buddhist concepts such as “emptiness” and “nothingness,” as well as key notions of Japanese aesthetic such as “wabi” and “sabi,” paving way for a flowering of international scholarship from Arthur Waley to Eugen Herrigel. In addition, Eastern thought, with its profound spirituality as a counterweight to capitalism and materialism, had a great impact on literature, theater, and architecture in the West.
This symposium seeks to reconsider the relationship between Japonisme and Eastern thoughts and its broader significance by examining specific cases from the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century.

● The Society for the Study of Japonisme 40th Anniversary Forum: Japonisme as a Field of Study: Past, Present, and Possibilities
This year, the Society for the Study of Japonisme celebrates its 40th anniversary since its beginning in 1980. On this occasion, we will hold a special online forum. The details are as follows. Please read them carefully before you register for the event. We look forward to seeing many of you online.
“Japonisme” has been defined as a cultural phenomenon of the modern West, which has produced images of “Japan” as its cultural “Other.” At the same time, the history of Japonisme shows that various Japanese individuals as well as the Japanese government have mediated and orchestrated the reception of such “Japan.” On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Society, we are convening a forum to examine the various roles Japan has played in Japonisme, which we broadly approach as cultural representations of Japan and their consumption in Europe and North America. The Forum will also be an occasion to revisit the history of the Society itself, and to consider how Japonisme as as a field of study has developed over the decades. Through individual presentations and panel discussions that collectively reconsider Japonisme from four different perspectives, the forum will offer a critical opportunity to have an active discussion on the state of Japonisme studies and the possibilities for its future.
Date: Part 1 (Individual Presentations), February 19-March 19, 2021
Recorded presentations will be available from a password-protected site during the dates above.
Part 2 (Panel Discussions), Sunday February 21, 2021, 15:00-20:15 (Japan

The Society for the Study of Japonisme 40th Anniversary Forum report:
On February 21, 2021, Part 2 of the Society for the Study of Japonisme 40th Anniversary Forum was held online. The below lists some of the points that were raised during the panel discussions.
In Session 1, Miyazaki Katsumi first asked the panelists how they understood the term “Japonisme.” Mabuchi Akiko said that Japonisme was basically a vision of Japan based Westerners’ illusions that developed without Japanese participation, and it is thus problematic how this historical perception of the West has been embraced positively by the Japanese themselves in recent years as if it were a result of the Japanese effort. Thomas explained how English-language art history has analyzed Japonisme in relation to Modernism, and Minami and Inaga discussed the difficulty of translating terms such as “Nihon Shumi.” To finish, Thomas suggested that Japonisme can help develop new theories of cross-cultural interaction.
Miura Atsushi began Session 2 by reiterating that a study of Japonisme was necessarily interdisciplinary from the start. Ishii Motoaki stated that the Commercial Museum of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, which displayed highly artistic craft products for export, proved to be rather effective in China, and raised the need to follow up on this issue in the future. Hashimoto Yorimitsu contrasted the representation of morning glory in Europe and the United States with that of aspedistra and kudzu, and pointed out that the Japanese origin of those plants that became successfully transplanted became forgotten whereas those that posed threat to the existing habitat were removed as “Japanese.” In a related vein, Sophie Basch reminded the existence of “anti-Japonisme” in France, which was highly critical of the French fascination with things Japanese, and stated that Castagnary’s discourse was representative of such French nationalism at the time.
In Session 3, when asked about the impact of ukiyo-e on American poets, Nakachi Sachi responded that it was one among multiple sources of inspiration, and she also pointed out that Yonejiro Noguchi took advantage of the Japonisme boom and developed his literary career by critiquing this boom from within for his own benefits. Michael Lucken pointed out the international position of Japan and Greece in the nineteenth century, and the commensurability between a certain kind of Japonisme in the West and what he calls “Philehellenism” as a discourse of cultural nationalism in Japan as they both claimed “Japan as ancient Greece.” In response to the question regarding the International Tourism Bureau’s promotion of Japan as “modern,” Kida Takuya stated that the image of Japan that was created in these posters combined elements that were both “new” and “retro.”
In Session 4, Kōma Kyoko pointed out that the current images of Japan as “kawaii” and “shōjo” in France that are propagated via manga and fashion inherit the feminized image of Japan as geisha and mousmé that was produced in the Japonisme era. Takagi Yoko mentioned the potential of what might be termed “intangible Japonisme” as experience, beyond the narrowly defined Japonisme that has focused largely on tangible and material products. Murai Noriko expressed a concern about the current Japanese appropriation of Japonisme as a term that carries the cultural prestige of France, and how this authority has been used to celebrate Japanese culture by the Japanese with little connection to historical Japonisme. Sadao Fujihara commented on the need to reexamine Japonisme as a type of “ism” and suggested that it may not be a bad idea to have an introductory book titled “An Introduction to the Critique of Japonisme.”
The online event was well attended by members and non-members, and by scholars and students in and outside Japan. The Society thanks all those who participated in the event and made it successful. The Society also expresses its most sincere gratitude to the Ishibashi Foundation, whose generous funding and support made this event possible.
● The Society for the Study of Japonisme International Symposium: Japonisme in Architecture and Space From the Late 19th Century to Today
Date: 9：30‐17：30 Saturday October 10, 2020 (Japan standard time) Virtual Symposium
Organizers: The Society for the Study of Japonisme / The Ebara Hatakeyama Memorial Foundation
Language: Japanese or English (with simultaneous interpretation)
300 participants
Admission free
Purpose:
It is well known that Edward S. Morse and Bruno Taut wrote books about Japanese architecture, and that Frank Lloyd Wright was much impressed by the Japanese pavilion at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The latter also incorporated Japanese elements into his architecture, making afterwards several trips to Japan. What in Japanese architecture made it so attractive to these visitors from the West after the Meiji Restoration? Also, did japonisants, those European and American aficionados of ukiyo-e and Japanese craft objects, turn their attention to the country’s architecture as well? How were the characteristics of Japanese architecture understood and incorporated into the Western built environment, exercising what kind of influence on the birth of modernist architecture?
Conversely, while Japanese architecture was presented in numerous world fairs, what did the Japanese themselves do in order to promulgate it abroad? Further, how conscious are such internationally active Japanese architects as ANDŌ Tadao, SANAA and KUMA Kengo about the specifically Japanese features in their designs, and how are they appreciated in the West?
The 2020 edition of the Society for the Study of Japonisme International Symposium seeks to examine these East/ West encounters and their consequences, including surprise, learning and adaptation, in terms of both architectural designs and ideas to which architectural spaces give rise.
