''Croquis Japonais'' is a collection of illustrations and sketches by Georges Ferdinand Bigot, a French artist and caricaturist who lived in Japan during the Meiji period. Born on April 7, 1860, in Rennes, France, Bigot is renowned for his detailed and insightful depictions of Japanese society and culture during a time of rapid modernization and Western influence. The term "croquis" translates to "sketches" in French, reflecting the spontaneous and observational nature of the works contained within the collection.

Bigot arrived in Japan in 1882 and quickly became fascinated with the country's customs, people, and landscapes. His artistic work, ''Croquis Japonais'', serves as a visual journal of his experiences and observations, capturing the everyday life of the Japanese from various social strata, as well as scenes of urban and rural environments. The collection is significant for its artistic merit and for providing a unique perspective on Japanese life during a pivotal historical moment, as seen through the eyes of a European artist.

The sketches in ''Croquis Japonais'' are characterized by their lively lines and attention to detail, often infused with a sense of humor and satire. Bigot's work not only appealed to the expatriate community in Japan but also gained respect from Japanese intellectuals and art connoisseurs who appreciated his ability to portray the essence of their rapidly changing society.

As a historical document, ''Croquis Japonais'' is invaluable for researchers and enthusiasts of Japanese history and art, offering a rare cross-cultural viewpoint that bridges East and West during the late 19th century. The collection remains an important part of Georges Ferdinand Bigot's artistic legacy and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic quality and cultural significance.
