Apart from France, there may be no country more important to the development of Louis Vuitton<\/a> as a brand than Japan. The company\u2019s namesake founder and family documented early adventures to the Far East with French nobility. The influence of early Japanese<\/a> trade and culture is well linked throughout its formative years, and the connection to Japan endures through recent decades of collaborators and releases.<\/p>\n

Louis Vuitton and Japan: Visionary Journeys <\/em><\/a>(Rizzoli) brings together the insights of several art curators, historians, and a brand expert to showcase this long-standing cultural connection. The book homes in on a few topical features, especially the construction and heritage of Louis Vuitton\u2019s signature trunks. The authors also pick up on more of the earliest history and origin stories, such as the creation of the LV monogram. While the monogram’s exact origins are not clear, the connection to Japan is. There are several points made about how late 19th-century Japanese design influenced the monogram\u2019s earliest versions.<\/p>\n
