Explores this phenomenon of European culture. The author believe that it was a result of a strong visual influence produced by Japanese art on Western European culture. It was for the first time that the West perceived an alien culture as equal and Japonism may be regarded as an aesthetic reception of Japanese arts related to the European dream about a Kingdom of Beauty.
