Seduction (Asian Art Museum, San Francisco)

20th Feb – 10th May: A museum dedicated to displaying the achievements of Asian artists throughout history, with each exhibit demonstrating profound imagery, themes and emotions. The new ‘Seduction’ exhibit does just that, igniting curiosity and intrigue into Japan’s former Red-light district, Yoshiwara. The artworks of the “floating world” ignore the unforgiving realities of the sex trade and create an idyllic, hedonistic world.
