| Opplysninger | "Japan entered an age of rapid modernization following the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry's US navy ships on its shores in the 1850s. It soon became the first nation in Asia whose military and industry were on par with Western imperialist countries in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. As the Japanese grappled with the massive effects of this rapid Western-inspired modernization, they searched for their cultural identity and increasingly turned to China for inspiration. The distinctively modern identity they built through the arts has only recently begun to be examined by researchers and through exhibitions. This book gathers contributions by scholars from the United States, Japan, and Europe, who look beyond Japan's Western industrialization to examine China's role in forming the nation's modern identity. It accompanies a retrospective of the modern Japanese painter Tomioka Tessai (1836-1924) on view in late 2022, at the Freer Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art"--
