The 1880s, Japanism
After Japan’s participation in the Universal Exhibition of 1867 and the discovery of its art, which was so different from traditional European criteria, a real enthusiasm arose. European artistic production then followed this fashion and many artists and cabinetmakers specialized in Japanese creations.
