GENNIFER WEISENFELD, Professor in the Department of Art, Art History, and Visual Studies and Dean of the Humanities at Duke University, received her Ph.D. from Princeton University. Her field of research is modern and contemporary Japanese art history, design, and visual culture. Her first book Mavo: Japanese Artists and the Avant-Garde, 1905-1931 (University of California Press, 2002) addresses the relationship between high art and mass culture in the aesthetic politics of the avant-garde in 1920s Japan. And her most recent book Imaging Disaster: Tokyo and the Visual Culture of Japan’s Great Earthquake of 1923 (University of California Press, 2012, Japanese edition Seidosha, 2014) examines how visual culture has mediated the historical understanding of Japan’s worst national disaster of the twentieth century. She is the guest editor of the special issue Visual Cultures of Japanese Imperialism of the journal positions: east asia cultures critique (Winter 2000) that includes her essay, “Touring ‘Japan as Museum’: NIPPON and Other Japanese Imperialist Travelogues.” She has also written extensively on the history of Japanese design, such as, “‘From Baby’s First Bath’: Kaō Soap and Modern Japanese Commercial Design” (The Art Bulletin, September 2004) and the core essay on MIT’s award-winning website Visualizing Cultures on the Shiseido company’s advertising design. She is currently working on two new book projects, one titled The Fine Art of Persuasion: Corporate Advertising Design, Nation, and Empire in Modern Japan, and the other, Protect the Skies! Visualizing Civil Air Defense in Wartime Japan.

【Art History】Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures Special Lecture by Professor Toshio Watanabe
Special lecture “The two sides of British and American Japonisme Research”
Thursday, December 6, 2018 3rdperiod (12:15 p.m.–1:30 p.m.)
University of Tsukuba Institute of Art and Design B203 Conference Room
Speaker: Professor Toshio Watanabe (Ph. D.)
Professor Watanabe is a graduate from Sophia University who received his doctorate from the University of Basel. After teaching at the University of the Arts London (UAL) Chelsea College of Arts, he became a professor at the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures, where he still teaches today. Books written by Professor Watanabe include High Victorian Japonisme (1991); Japan and Britain: An Aesthetic Dialogue 1850–1930 (1991); and Ruskin in Japan 1890–1940: Nature for art, art for life (1997). He was formerly the Chairman of the Japan Art History Society and a Council Member of Tate Britain. In 2004, he established the Research Centre for Transnational Art, Identity and Nation (TrAIN) at the University of the Arts London (UAL).
In addition to attendees from this university, including Art and Design faculty members, Humanities and Social Sciences faculty members, students from the Master’s and doctoral programs, college students, and non-degree students, we were joined by graduate students from the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures. In total, around 35 people were present on the day.
The special lecture elaborated the “history of research” with regard to British and American Japonisme research, starting from the pre-1960s’ era to the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2001 onward. With reference to important English, German, and French books, he spoke about the prominent issues of previous research. He also offered in-depth commentary, including references to studies that were problematic in terms of content, despite being best-seller books. This taught us about the other side of research. This lecture detailed the theories and techniques of Japonisme research on top of Professor Watanabe’s own research history, as we learned that Japonisme is not limited to fine art; that we need not only an East and West perspective, but a transnational one; and that we must become conscious of the image of a porous national border as it comes and goes. This was a unique opportunity where those present were able to learn about new research trends as they reflected on their own research.
