I've long had a soft spot for Art Deco and Art Nouveau (who hasn't tbh) and I didn't realize until discovering through all the linked Wikipedia pages that there were parallel movements throughout Europe and that Arts & Crafts was the big Anglo one

So I may have already shared this trivia, but Arts and Crafts came in the wake of Admiral Perry opening up Japan, which created a wave of Japophilia in UK, and A&C was a retro-medeivalism (which had started 30 yrs earlier) merged w Japophilia Tolkien books & movies show this >>

Hobbits are English w Japanese influences, Elves are Japanese with English influences (not claiming Tolkien said this ; merely me claiming it, but also, I'm right :) )
