In the mid-1880s, Wores became one of the first American artists to live and work in Japan. After three years in Japan he returned to San Francisco, where his paintings of Japan were well received. Wores made another trip to Japan, was disappointed in the rapid westernization, and continued on to Hawaii and Samoa in search of exotic portrait subjects.
