Japan & Belgium
An Itinerary of Mutual Inspiration
- Standard work of reference concerning 150 years of diplomatic relations between Japan and Belgium
- Richly illustrated
- Contains essays from Belgian and Japanese experts
150 years ago, Belgium and Japan signed their first treaty. They have been important economic partners for each other ever since. As a result, the reciprocal exchange of artistic influence between these countries flourished: Belgian artists were inspired by ‘Japanisme’, while Japanese writers read the works of Maurice Maeterlinck and Emiile Verhaeren. After the devastating violence of World War II, these two countries’ cooperation finally resulted in a solid alliance. This book invites its readers to focus on the cross-cultural exchanges that make the Belgian-Japanese relationship a fertile space for diplomacy, trade, and creativity.
