“Mediating Tradition: Japanese Copperplate Printing and Art Reproduction in 1880s Shanghai, ” in Melanie Trede, Christine Guth, and Mio Wakita eds., Japanese Art – Transcultural Perspectives (Brill, 2025), pp. 304-329.
This volume advances a transcultural approach to Japanese art history, redefining the field by challenging canonical boundaries and emphasizing cross-cultural exchanges of objects, technologies, and ideas. My contribution highlights the importation of Japanese copper print technology to late 19th-century Shanghai, offering original insights into Sino-Japanese artistic interactions and expanding the global narrative of modern print culture.
