  Since the period of Impressionist paintings (Manet, Monet, van Gogh) of the 19th century to the digital age (cinema, anime, manga, PlayStation) of the 21st century, Japan has provided extremely attractive images to non-Japanese viewers and spectators.  European and American artists dreamed of an exotic land of geisha, samurai, and Mt.
