The awareness of Japanese prints in Europe and North America began at the end of the 19th century when art and artisan products of Japan were exported to Western countries in large numbers. In Europe and especially in France a hype for everything Japanese set in. The French called it Japonisme. Since then a worldwide community of collectors and art friends of Japanese prints has developed.
