The special exhibition, which presents the influence of Japanese culture on Hungarian fine arts material from the turn of the century, can be visited until the middle of March. The joint exhibition of the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Asiatic Arts and the Kovács Gábor Art Foundation awaits enthusiasts in the Palace of Guards, Castle Garden Bazaar.

The keen interest in Japan that marked the Western countries and Hungary from the middle of the 19th century, was called “Japonism”, as were the works of art inspired by Japanese art. The period’s fashionable ceramics were decorated with Japanese figures and motifs, theatre stages featured Madame Butterfly, and no respectable woman’s wardrobe would have been complete without a kimono.
