A crowded interior is the subject here: a Japanese curio shop where two men stand among shelves and tables piled with lacquerware, ceramics, screens and other decorative objects. Shops like this one catered to Western visitors and collectors during the late 1800s and early 1900s, when Japanese goods such as porcelain, fans and cloisonné were especially fashionable abroad. The picture gives a sense of how these stores were arranged to display their wares. Its dense clutter of objects also records the taste for Japonisme in that era.
