USA / Japan: Miss Tokio Hosiery'poster advertisement, 1927
Orientalism is a term used by art historians, literary and cultural studies scholars for the imitation or depiction of aspects of Middle Eastern, and East Asian cultures (Eastern cultures) by American and European writers, designers and artists. In particular, Orientalist painting, depicting more specifically the Middle East, was one of the many specialisms of 19th century Academic art. Since the publication of Edward Said's Orientalism, the term has arguably acquired a negative connotation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "USA / Japan: Miss Tokio Hosiery" poster advertisement from 1927, offering a glimpse into the world of Orientalism. Orientalism refers to the portrayal or imitation of Middle Eastern and East Asian cultures by American and European artists, writers, and designers. In this particular piece of art, we witness the fusion of Japanese and American influences. The poster features a stunning woman dressed in an elegant kimono, embodying both traditional Japanese style and Western fashion trends. Her graceful presence captivates viewers as she represents the allure of geisha culture intertwined with modernity. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail, highlighting not only her beauty but also the craftsmanship behind her attire. During the 19th century Academic art movement, Orientalist painting became a popular specialization among artists seeking to explore exotic cultures through their work. However, it is important to note that since Edward Said's influential book "Orientalism" this term has acquired a negative connotation due to its potential for perpetuating stereotypes. This historical photograph offers us insight into how cultural exchange influenced artistic expression during this period. It serves as a reminder that while appreciating different cultures can be enriching, it is crucial to approach such depictions with sensitivity and respect for authenticity.
