Japonaiserie (English: Japanesery) was the term used by Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh to express the influence of Japanese art on his works.

[1] Before 1854, trade with Japan was limited to a Dutch monopoly,[2] and Japanese goods imported into Europe primarily comprised porcelain and lacquer ware.

[7] Vincent possessed twelve prints from Hiroshige's series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, and he also had bought Two Girls Bathing by Kunisada II, 1868.

[9] A month later he wrote, All my work is based to some extent on Japanese art...[10]Van Gogh made three copies of ukiyo-e prints, The Courtesan and the two studies after Hiroshige.

[11] Van Gogh developed an idealised conception of the Japanese artist which led him to the Yellow House at Arles and his attempt to form a utopian art colony there with Paul Gauguin.
