We are pleased to announce that Sato Sakura Museum will be hosting an exhibition titled “Contemporary Portraits of Exotic Women.” Works featuring women have been produced in countless numbers across different eras and cultures. In Japan, the genre of “bijin-ga,” or “pictures of beautiful women,” spread widely following the emergence of ukiyo-e during the Edo period. Thereafter, “bijin-ga” expanded beyond the bounds of ukiyo-e, encompassing numerous works depicting women’s beauty. Women’s attire and beauty have evolved over time, and various images of beauty, shaped by their respective cultures, have been portrayed. In this exhibition, we are proud to present a selection of contemporary “bijin-ga” paintings from our collection, portraying delicate and glamorous women. You will be able to enjoy various forms of beauty from Japan, the East, and the West, often depicted alongside flowers. We invite you to admire the exotic allure of feminine beauty as depicted by contemporary Japanese artists.
