Le Japon artistique; documents d'art et d'industrie (6 volumes, French edition) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Digital Library for the Decorative Arts and Material Culture.

Le Japon artistique was a monthly periodical founded by French art dealer and critic Siegfried Bing (1838-1905). Bing was influential in his promotion of Japanese art and Art Nouveau. Le Japon artistique was published simultaneously in English, French, and German between 1888–1891 as was a testament to the widespread interest in Japonisme.
