介绍（中）	日本是西方对漆器的模仿，在1700年后在殖民地变得流行。一种时尚的表面处理，其中隐约起源于远东的图案被抬起、镀金和上漆，日本化被应用于标准家具形式，当明亮和新颖时，一定会产生令人眼花缭乱的效果。在这里，图案以轻松起伏的图案排列在坚实的黑色地面上，人、动物、超大花朵和小亭子快乐地共存。1690年代，与早期巴洛克风格（在美国称为威廉和玛丽风格）同时在殖民地引入的一种新形式，高抽屉柜是十八世纪初最负盛名的家具。它建在独立的上部和下部，在这一时期的特点是裙子和担架被曲线和转动的腿和脚所活跃，球状形状大胆地并列在狭窄的锥形上。作为美国最早的日本化例子之一，这个高胸是波士顿和塞勒姆的皮克曼家族的后裔。
介绍（英）	Japanning, a Western imitation of lacquerwork, became fashionable in the colonies after 1700. A stylish surface treatment in which motifs of vaguely Far Eastern origin were raised, gilded, and varnished, japanning was applied to standard furniture forms and, when bright and new, must have produced a dazzling effect. Here the motifs are arranged on a solid black ground in a relaxed, undulating pattern in which people, animals, oversize flowers, and tiny pavilions happily coexist. A new form introduced in the colonies in the 1690s at the same time as the early Baroque style—known in America as the William and Mary style—the high chest of drawers was the most prestigious piece of furniture in the early eighteenth century. Built in separate upper and lower sections, it was characterized in this period by a skirt and stretchers enlivened by curves and turned legs and feet on which bulbous shapes were boldly juxtaposed to narrow tapers. One of the earliest American examples of japanning, this high chest descended in the Pickman family of Boston and Salem.
