> Imprinting the Empire: Western Artists and the Persistence of Colonialism in East Asia
>
> Speaker: Tessa Morris-Suzuki
>
> During the first decades of the twentieth century, a small number of American and
> European visitors to Japan made names for themselves as practitioners of the art of
> woodblock printing. At a time when ukiyoe style printing had fallen out of fashion in
> Japan itself, these foreign artists helped to keep the tradition alive. Several of them
> also traveled widely though the Japanese empire, finding subject matter for their artworks
> in Korea, Manchuria and the Japanese mandated Pacific Islands. Their representations of
> the Japanese empire through this distinctively Japanese artistic medium provide an
> intriguing window onto the complex nature of western images of Japanese colonial
> expansion. By following their journeys and their lives, we can observe some of the ways in
> which Japan’s expansion influenced western images of “the Far East”. Such images in turn
> had a formative impact on western political and cultural interactions with East Asia: an
> impact that survived even after the disappearance of the Japanese colonial empire itself.

> Tessa Morris-Suzuki is Professor of Japanese history at the Australian National
> University. Her research focuses mainly on questions of national identity, borders and
> minorities, and on Japan’s interaction with its Asian neighbours. Her most recent works
> include Exodus to North Korea: Shadows from Japan’s Cold War (2007), Borderline Japan:
> Foreigners and Frontier Controls in the Postwar Era (forthcoming 2010) and To the Diamond
> Mountains: A Hundred Year Journey Through China and Korea (forthcoming 2010).
