 note = {In recent years scholars of Japanese art history have noted William Anderson (1842-1900) as the author of a book entitled The Pictorial Arts of Japan, published in London in 1886. Anderson was a doctor who came to Japan in 1873 to work at the Naval Hospital in the Shinagawa district of Tokyo. Anderson returned to England in 1880, after becoming renowned for his research in Japan on beriberi. Anderson also collected a massive number of Chinese and Japanese paintings during his time in Japan, and more than 3,000 of these works were donated to the British Museum. The entire scope of his collection can be seen in the 1886 publication, Descriptive and Historical Catalogue of a Collection of Japanese and Chinese Paintings in the British Museum.
     The lack of familiarity with Anderson's name in terms of Japanese art history lies in the fact that Ernest F. Fenollosa, who arrived in 1878, was the dominant name in the field. Compared to Fenellosa, Anderson was in Japan a relatively short period of time. Further, the majority of Anderson's publications were released after he returned to England, and Fenellosa's publications were released while he was still in Japan. Nevertheless, Anderson did play an important role in the formation of the history of Japanese art. In June 1879, Anderson presented a paper entitled, “A History of Japanese Art” at the Asiatic Society of Japan (founded in Yokohama in 1879). This paper was published in Transactions of the Asiatic Society of Japan, vol. 7 part 4, 1879. This was the first attempt by a Western author to create an overview of the subject. In addition, Anderson expressed his high regard for Maruyama Ôkyo (1733-1795) and Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), and his writings contained other noteworthy content. The 1884 second edition of Ernest Satow and A. G. S. Hawes' A Handbook for Travellers in Central and Northern Japan included two articles by Anderson, entitled “Pictorial Art” and “Glyptic Art.” These brief indications of his accomplishments suggest the need for future study on the details of Anderson's activities in Japan.},
