Christophe Marquet is a Professor of Japanese Studies at the French School of the Far East (EFEO), where he has served as Director of Studies since 2018. His research focuses on the history of art and books in premodern and modern Japan (17th–20th centuries), with a particular emphasis on Edo-period visual culture and the evolution of Japanese writing systems.
Marquet has edited seminal works such as From the Brush to Typography: Japanese Perspectives on Writing and the Book (EFEO, 2006) and Western Presences in Japan: From the 'Christian Century' to the Reopening of the 19th Century (Éd. du Cerf, 2011). He has also translated and curated Edo-period albums like L'almanach des Maisons Vertes (2008) and Dessins Abrégés de Keisai (2011), and authored Ōtsu-e: Imagerie Populaire du Japon (Picquier, 2015).
His work bridges interdisciplinary themes including cultural hybridity, material culture, and the intersection of art, religion, and technology in Japanese history.
