The Japanese prints seen on these artistic wallpapers look very exotic. And these woodblocks were also found exotic by artists at the end of the 19th century, who were the first Europeans to set eyes on them. But the artists were not just excited by the unusual appearance – they also found inspiration in the style of illustration: clear lines, stylised forms and areas filled with colour, the absence of a central perspective and the spatial depth influenced Manet, Monet and Van Gogh. The Japanese woodblocks are highly valued by us today. Wallpaper with these motifs is not just suitable in an Asian ambiance. The woodblocks will enhance any room whose furniture has clear lines in a purist design. Thanks to their shape, the narrow, high motifs are also reminiscent of shoji, the Japanese screens.
