4. Overview of the Research Project (About 150 words) Note: If you have changed your project since the time ofapplication submission, please write clearly where you made changes.
Ernst Grosse (1862-1927) was one of the earliest Westerners to take up the study of East Asian art as a research
topic. He was judged by his contemporaries as being challenged only by Fenollosa as the first westerner to penetrate
deeply into the art of East Asia. His traces can be seen in various collections across Europe, including Berlin,
Freiburg, and Ascona. In addition, other Freiburg travelers, such as Hugo Ficke (1840-1912), gathered majorcollections of East Asian art, that became some of the earliest holdings of the Ethnographic Museum of Freiburg.
This ARC research project will digitalize these objects and construct a data base. The many Japanese woodblock
prints Grosse left behind, will, for example, make connections to the ARC family of data bases. In addition, theobjects will shed light on the reception of Japanese art at this pioneering stage of Japanese art research in westernacademia.
5. Overview of the Research Results Note: We may use this section for the Center’s PR.
The project successfully gathered the information collected in surveys on the collection. Due to Covid restrictions,
we were not able to enter the warehouse which stores the objects of the museum, however, we were able to use thedetailed information hat was gathered during university surveys prior to the pandemic. With the help of the three
university assistants, we could gather the information, put it into standardized format and connect the descriptions
with the images taken during the earlier survey. This package of information was then sent to the ARC in March2022, for the ARC specialist who, according to the plan, would place the information to the previously prepared
database. The Freiburg museum also provided support and promised to supply quality images of the objects at alater point. The plan would then be to replace the present images in the database with the supplied images.
