The beauties of the world floating

In 2026, the San Fernando Fine Arts Academy invites you on a journey to the heart of the golden age of *bijin-ga*, portraits of Japanese women of the era. Seventy estampes ukiyo-e, from the Pasamar-Onila collection, reveal the Western fascination for the “floating world.” Admire the courtesans, actresses, and women of the bourgeoisie, immortalized with exceptional refinement, their sumptuous kimonos and elaborate hairstyles testifying to the aesthetics of the 18th and 19th centuries. This rich exhibition, featuring rare pieces such as the unusual *hashira-e*, offers a unique glimpse into the Nishiki-e technique and the influence of masters such as Utamaro, Kiyonaga, and Eizan. Discover the evolution of Japanese graphic art, from its roots in the ideal of sophistication (*iki*) to its bold expression of sensuality. A unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a universe of beauty and elegance. Entry: 10€ – February 12 to May 31, 2026.
