[quote=Anonymous]I am Asian American, I love modern chinoiserie, to a point. But i agree with a pp that the geisha/paddy worker prints give me the ick. I think bc those were mostly in 20th century chinoiserie, and it was during a time of fetishization of Asians. To me, this stereotypical depictions contributed to the “othering” of Asians particularly Asian Americans. But broader patterns, such as cherry blossoms or peonies & dragons are commonly found in Asian homes, and appreciating those themes are appreciation, not appropriation. [/quote]
