In Santander, we have bet on bringing a fresh and original proposal this summer. After passing through Tokyo, Sao Paulo, Shanghai, Montreal, Milan and Madrid, Spirit of Japan arrives in Cantabria for the first time, an extraordinary immersive art experience where we offer a contemplative journey through the most famous works of the great masters of Japanese prints, known for the Ukiyo-e artistic movement, which began in the 17th century and lasted for three centuries. An experience designed for all audiences that offers a new perspective on the great diversity, richness, and modernity of these works of art and their authors.

Once inside, the visitor immerses themselves in the Japan of the collective imagination, its landscapes and nature, its daily life, the Japan of geishas, samurais, and spirits, a Japan that no longer exists but still fascinates.

Each scene will be accompanied by an exquisite musical selection creating its own rhythm and atmosphere, highlighting pieces such as 'La Mer' by Claude Debussy, inspired by Hokusai's Great Wave, the frenetic rhythms of Japanese drums, as well as pieces by prominent contemporary Japanese composers such as Hiroshi Yoshimura and Takashi Yoshimatsu.

A sensory experience where evocative and poetic images invade the space and overwhelm visitors, creating a dynamic staging, like a journey through different moments via more than 400 artworks, enriched by a refined and immersive sound design.

Immerse yourself in this journey and discover the true spirit of Japan!
