Describing in their journals and correspondences the cities, customs, craftsmanship and people they encountered during their journeys, these travelers also brought various craft objects home. At the same time, people moved from Japan to Europe and the United States, too, as businessmen, touring performers, students and migrants, each embodying the Other to the Western eyes. How did these intersecting human flows across the globe inform Japonisme? Shifting our focus to movements of people (from those of things, such as art and craft objects) will allow us to discover new and diverse sets of meanings in Japonisme from modern to contemporary periods.&#160;The 2019 edition of the Society for the Study of Japonisme International Symposium seeks to encourage in-depth study and discussion on this Japonisme shaped by travels and movements.&#160;Program　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　9:00–&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Registration9:30–9:40&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Welcome Address&#160;&#160;MABUCHI Akiko, Chair, the Society for the Study of Japonisme and Director, the National&#160;Museum&#160;of Western Art&#160;NAKAMURA Hiroshi, Executive Director and Secretary-General, the Ebara Hatakeyama Memorial&#160;Foundation&#160;Part I: Japan in Fantasy: Outgoing Information and the Japanese abroad&#160;　Moderator: ENDO Nozomi&#160;9:40–10:00　IDO Keiko, Professor, Komazawa Women’s University“From Japan to the World: The Case of Nikko”10:05–10:25Phylis FLOYD, Associate Professor, Michigan State University“Japanese&#160;Meishoand Popular Tourist Prints in the West”&#160;&#160;Break&#160;10:40–11:00SUZUKI Junji, Professor Emeritus, Keio University“Japanese residentsof France Involved in Horticultural Japonisme: HATA Wasuke&#160;and his&#160;Collaborators”11:05–11:25OCHIAI Momoko, Lecturer, Fukuoka University“A Japanese Art Specialist in Germany Born in a Doctor’s Family in Akita: the Life and Works of HARA Shinkichi”11:30–11:50Wayne E.
