{"product_id":"eivind-eckbo-and-the-japonisme-movement","title":"Eivind Eckbo and the Japonisme Movement","description":"\u003cp\u003eDuring his world trip in 1906, the Norwegian Eivind Eckbo spent three months in Japan. There, he visited Shinto sanctuaries, photographed everyday life, and developed a deep fascination with Japanese culture. This took place within the context of the Japonism movement, which developed in Europe at the end of the 19th century. His fascination became a lifelong passion that is evident in his numerous photographs and a collection of Japanese art objects, including several ukiyo-e, Japanese woodblock prints from the 17th to the 19th century. The publication not only highlights the great connection between Eivind Eckbo — who founded the Eckbo Foundation with his wife, Alice Mary Higford, in 1923 — and Japanese art and culture, but also uses this previously unpublished collection to illustrate the heyday of extraordinary Japanese art objects during the Meiji period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57510077563253,"sku":"9783897907720","price":42.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783897907720.jpg?v=1787130388","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/eivind-eckbo-and-the-japonisme-movement","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
