What is Japonisme?
Japonisme refers to the Western fascination with Japanese art and design that emerged in the 19th century after Japan reopened to international trade. This style influenced European and American art, decorative objects, and fashion. Characteristic of Japonisme are natural themes like blossoming branches and birds, asymmetrical compositions, and an emphasis on simplicity and minimalism. This tray reflects the style through its refined motifs and harmonious color palette.
