After Admiral Perry broke through Japan's isolation in 1854, the current of Japanese trade flowed west again, bearing with it the colored woodcuts of Hokusai, Hiroshige, and their contemporaries. Some of the most avid collectors of these prints were the French Impressionists and Nabis, who found in them new ways to treat their own prints. In The Great Wave, Colta Feller Ives, Curator in Charge, Department of Prints and Photographs, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, recounts the phenomenal "cult of Japan" in late nineteenth-century France and reveals through direct comparisons its particular impact on the graphic work of Manet, Degas, Cassatt, Bonnard, Vuillard, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Gauguin.
Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry's Japan Expedition (1853-1854), the most important voyage of mid-nineteenth-century American "gunboat diplomacy," resulted in the opening of Japan to Western commerce. This study documents for the first time the expedition's "artifacts of diplomacy," an important collection representing traditional or preindustrial Japanese material culture. Chang-su Houchins describes the range of silk textiles, lacquerware, ceramics, fans and umbrellas, bamboo and wood products, and swords and arms presented to the United States government, President Franklin Pierce, and Commodore Perry. Japanese government commissioners and officials of the Kingdom of Ryukyu gave more than one hundred gifts before and after the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854. The monograph also surveys objects the expedition party purchased at bazaars in Hakodate and Shimoda specifically to deposit it in a national museum in Washington, D.C. Drawing on English and Japanese published and archival sources, Artifacts of Diplomacy extensively documents each artifact and presents the context of cultural contacts from both the Japanese and the American points of view.

It lists over 6000 publications dating from 1822 to 1993, concentrating on those in English.
