The etching "Snow" from the Parisian Haviland service beautifully embodies the minimalist grace of nature, showcasing elegant birds in flight among delicate flowers. Its serene balance is a tribute to late 19th-century Japonisme. How does it inspire you?

Towering over Kyōto, with views of Lake Biwa (琵琶湖) in the next prefecture, at the top of Mount Hiei (比叡山) is an outdoor art museum combined with gardens. They take reproductions, such as Impressionist paintings by Monet, and make similar garden areas. The changing leaves are late this year, but at this altitude of nearly 900 meters there is autumn foliage to go with the profusion of flowers.

"Landscape with Mount Fuji in the Distance," Emil Orlik, 1908.
Czech-born painter Orlik (1870-1932) isn't well known, having worked a lot as an illustrator and lithographer, but he deserves a closer look.
He was one of few Western artists who wasn't content to simply admire the Japanese prints that were popular in Europe, but to actually go to Japan and undertake an apprenticeship in traditional woodblock printing.
This landscape, done with Western sensibilities and with Japanese technique, has almost intense use of color and sense of composition. I want a print.
From a private collection.

"Evening Atmosphere," Henriette Hahn-Brinckmann, 1904.
Hahn-Brinckmann (1862-1934) is a little-known Danish-German artist who worked in various styles, including Realism and Art Nouveau, and media, including paint, lithography, and as seen here, woodcut.
This is one of a series of woodcuts she did using Japanese tools and techniques, but using Western style and subject matter. Here we have a portrait of her friend, sculptor Niels Hansen Jacobsen, with a flowering vine and the light of the setting sun.
Ah, that flowering vine is so evocative! And the man's pose...I wonder if he's lost in thought, or reading, or just asleep...
From the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen.

Absolutely! I agree there must have been a lot of overlap between the two.
As I wasn't familiar with the term I looked up the Aesthetic Movement in the decorative arts. It seems to include a lot of nods to Japanese influences like ebonising furniture and including ginkgo leaf designs.
There's a nice article by the #V_and_A on the period here: https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/an-introduction-to-the-aesthetic-movement
