Notes

  1. 1.

    As Davoli 2013, p. 43 states: “It was a favourable time to purchase works of art in Japan. The Meiji Restoration had caused a major religious shift by legally abolishing the syncretism between Buddhism and Shinto and declaring the latter the national religion. Many temples were converted or demolished, and a number of Buddhist statues taken down, abandoned or destroyed”.

  2. 2.

    On Giambattista Vico, as one of the pioneers of comparative law, see Moustaira 2003, pp. 7–9.

  3. 3.

    See Davoli 2013, p. 48, stating that Cattaneo had written several articles about India, China, Japan and the Middle East, inspired by the methodology of comparative linguistics.

  7. 7.

    See Moustaira 2010, p. 1677, stating that in the Japanese language there was no term that could translate the term “philosophy” until 1874, when Amane Nishi proposed the term “tetsugaku”, that was established ever since.

  10. 10.

    In many South American countries, as for example in Argentina, Chile, Peru, museums have been established rather “late” in time (in comparison with the museums of the European countries), that is, at about the end of the 19th century or during the 20th century, following the creation of private collections. Thus, it is stated that in the case of Argentina of the 19th century, according to the mentality of that time fine arts were a superior level which should be pursued only after the material life’s necessities would have been satisfied, see Baldasarre 2006, p. 294.
