The 1890s was, in some ways, ahead of the twentieth century that introduced great change to Western arts and culture. The Yellow Book introduced many weird and intriguing works of art that transitioned people out of a Victorian state and into a new modern era. Japonism was only the beginning of the West’s lifelong admiration of the exotic and cultural exchange between the two would last until the start of World War II. The movement changed how the West viewed foreigners and best exemplifies how one culture can influence one another. Japonism did not die at the end of the 1890s, as many people today admire Japanese culture and are still inspired by their many distinct art styles and landscapes.
