Japan first. Samurai, geishas, cherry blossoms – it's visually stunning.
Don't underestimate the Netherlands. Rembrandt, tulips, and a rich maritime history are equally compelling.
Japan's history is epic, from feudal lords to emperors. Their tea ceremonies are incredibly peaceful.
The Dutch Golden Age was equally significant. They dominated global trade and fostered innovative art forms.
Japan's art is exquisite – woodblock prints, calligraphy, kimonos. It's incredibly delicate and beautiful.
Dutch Masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer created masterpieces. Their modern design is sleek and functional.
Japan has anime and manga, a global phenomenon. And who doesn't love Hello Kitty?
The Netherlands boasts a legacy of radical thinkers and artists like Van Gogh. His passion resonates deeply.
Van Gogh was fascinated by Japanese art, even copying Hiroshige's woodblock prints. The two cultures clearly influenced each other.
The Netherlands has always embraced new ideas. They were among the first Europeans to trade with Japan.
The Dutch East India Company had a trading post in Dejima during the Edo period, facilitating significant cultural exchange.
Consider Japanese gardens versus the Dutch canals and open skies – another striking contrast.
Japanese gardens offer serenity. They're particularly beautiful in spring with the cherry blossoms.
