Outline of Final Research Achievements

Chinoiserie refers to trends in Chinese art that swept through Europe in the mid-to-late 17th and 18th centuries. And recently, we can frequently see the spatial planning utilized water environment in Shanghai or Guangzhou, China. The purpose of this study is to consider the notion and awareness of Chinoiserie from the context of local identity. Firstly, we examined the notion and awareness of Chinoiserie, in its classic sense, as used in modern Japanese academic discourse. Secondly, we also examined the notion and awareness of Chinoiserie, in its reinvented sense, from guidebooks on China. And then, we compared the results of the two analyses. Finally, we focus on Hong Kong and Macau, and consider the notion and awareness of Chinoiserie there, including the viewpoint of "Hong Kong touch" and "Macau touch".
