The Japanese collections of the Bibliotheque nationale (imperial / royale) of France developed greatly during the 1st half of the 19th C. One of its most important part is strongly linked with the history of the Dutch factory of Deshima, Japan’s only window on Europe during the Edo period. From the beginning of the 19th C, Paris was the capital of European orientalism : scholars and physicians employed by the Dutch East Indies Company, would meet in Paris with Stanislas Julien, Abel-Remusat… ,send their articles to the Journal Asiatic, die and have their collection sold in auction there… For all these reasons, we find in the collections of the BnF an album of paintings about Dutch life in Deshima, paintings by Kawahara Keiga, by Hokusai’s studio made for Philipp von Siebold, a copy of the catalogue of the collection of Overmeer Fisscher… I would like to show how interesting for the history of Japanese studies those links are, and examine them more precisely.
