Japanese culture in Scotland, 1880 – 1914 Hunterian Associates Programme
-
- Education
By outlining the fusion of Scottish and Japanese cultures at the end of the 19th century, this video offers new understandings of, and triggers enthusiasm for, these artworks and designs. Hunterian Associate and PhD researcher Michael Shaw demonstrates that Celtic cultures and Japanese cultures were perceived as very similar between 1880 and 1914 and that Scottish artists drew from Japanese culture as it could complement and further the Celtic Revival in Scotland. Curiously, the internationalism of Scottish artwork could lend to the formation of its national cultural identity.
