'Pandora', by Odilon Redon (1840-1916) was a French symbolist painter, printmaker, draughtsman and pastellist. He is perhaps best known today for the 'dreamlike' paintings created in the first decade of the 20th century, which were heavily inspired by Japanese art and which, while continuing to take inspiration from nature, heavily flirted with abstraction. His work is considered a precursor to both Dadaism and Surrealism.

'Perfume' or 'Woman with a Rose' by Edmond Aman-Jean (1858-1936), a French symbolist painter, who was a close friend of Georges Seurat, when the two artists shared a Paris studio in 1879. Aman-Jean established his reputation primarily for his portraits, especially of female subjects. Like many French artists of his generation, he was influenced by the new perspectives on Japanese art current in Paris in his day and unusually, he was interested in the Pre-Raphaelite artists in England.

A late 19th Century illustration of Samurai (or bushi) warriors of old Japan. They made up the ruling military class that eventually became the highest ranking social caste of the Edo Period (1603-1867).

Strongly Confucian in nature, bushido stressed loyalty to one's master, self discipline and respectful, ethical behavior. Many samurai were also drawn to the teachings and practices of Zen Buddhism.
