Jutta Frings, Helga Willinghöfer, Beate Marks-Hanssen, McInnes, Robert (Translator), Tracey Kimmeskamp, Jane Michael, Cynthia Hall

"This volume describes--from a new angle--the mutual fascination that developed between French and Japanese culture following the political opening of the island state during the mid-nineteenth century. Large-format illustrations of Impressionist masterpieces from collections in Japan demonstrate the love of Japanese artists and collectors for French impressionism"--Page 4 of cover.
