Japan, Corot, Vincent, is that all what is looked at?

Can any of you tell me your own ideas of why Vincent van Gogh liked this painting and made such a marvelous and almost precise image of the same?

 

This in a Vincent van Gogh with out a signature but did it really need one?  Does that Japan work of art above ring any bells in your head?

Have you ever asked yourself,.... Why me?
