HIROSHIGE and TOYOKUNI Snow on Benten Hill at Kinryuzan Temple in Asakusa Framed print (poor condition) 37x25cm And another "Geisha", framed under glass (37x24cm when viewed) These two works testify to Emma Calvé's taste for Japanese art, very much in vogue in Europe at the end of the 19th century. Intimately linked to the rise of Japonism, the singer was not content to adopt Japanese objects as decorative accessories: her many trips to the Orient also nourished her scenic imagination.
