"Instead of compartmentalizing and thereby obviating the multilayered complexity of nineteenth-century chinoiserie in its multicultural contexts, this publication embraces the complexity and tackles it full on. In this respect, it serves as a model for holistic approaches to topics of cross-cultural artistic exchange."-Sonia Coman, Smithsonian Institution, in Journal of Japonisme 5 (2020) pages 98-104
