| Comment | Japan had just opened to the west recently. There was massive interest in Japan and Japanese woodcuts were collected by a lot of major artists.
I think one painting by Guthrie , the biggest name of The Glasgow Boys, of his studio shows numerous woodcuts and fans.
The impressionists were the same. [the term was Japonisme](https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/j/japonisme#:~:text=Japonisme%20is%20a%20French%20term,and%20design%20in%20the%20West) rather than weeb at the time |
