Mary Verney (1675 - February 1696) known also as Molly, & Mall Klenyg was a British noblewoman most known for having having the first instance of recorded use of the word Japan as a verb in 1683.

1640 - 1860
When the VOC stopped operating as a company, they did not stop operating within Dejima, and so their trade monopoly with the Japanese continued during the 18th and early 19th century. In 1839, it was reported that a number of Bantam Works were being sold.

Japanese Artists in the United Kingdom
For example; in 1900, Sadajirō Yamanaka open his London Branch of Yamanaka and Co. By 1902, a Japanese exhibition opened in Whitechapel, London, in which Charles Lewis Hind reviewed the watercolours of the Japanese artist working in London Yoshio Markino. Markino would go on to become a successful illustrator in Edwardian Britain, publishing illustrated works such as The Colour of London(1907) and A Japanese Artist in London(1910). The writer Douglas Sladen also frequently collaborated with Markino in his publications. Between 1907 and 1910, Wakana Utagawa visits London to train in watercolour painting and showcase her traditional Japanese brush paintings. In 1911 Frank Brangwyn had begun to collaborate with various Japanese artists such as Ryuson Chuzo Matsuyama working in Edwardian England on woodblock printing techniques. Then in 1915, the Yamanaka gallery in London hosted the British Red Cross Loan Exhibition. These businessmen, taking advantage of improved international relations, set up shop in Europe and America. Dealers such as Tonying, C. T. Loo (q.v.) and Yamanaka all began to sell East Asian objects directly to Western collectors.
