By contrast, Zola makes a more sophisticated and adaptive use of japonisme: In September , the third Paris Universal Exposition, where once again the Japanese pavilion was a star attraction, was probably the prime motive for another brief excursion to France. Finally, he recalls his early experiences in Paris in his Memorias de un desmemoriado. Fortuny was a key figure in cultivating a taste for things Japanese among Spanish artists in Paris. Book-buying offered another possible opportunity to engage with japonisme. Often noted is his discovery of Balzac, but in , , and he also acquired novels by primary practitioners of the literary version of the phenomenon, the Brothers Goncourts and Zola.
Though the first large-scale expositions of Japanese art were not held in Spain until the lates, in the preceding decades, collectors had already begun to assemble small collections of prints, lacquers, and ceramics, making them available to friends and acquaintances. More generally, though, the reference foreshadows, albeit subtly, the function of subsequent evocations of Japanese art sprinkled throughout the novel, and highlights the role they play in characterization and plot development. In the s and s the French soldier had made his name in North Africa by participating in the military and diplomatic ventures that brought Tunisia and Algeria, and eventually Morocco under French rule.
However, his brash diplomacy ultimately put France on the wrong side of the civil conflict that would end in with the nominal restoration of direct imperial rule known as the Meiji Restoration Irwin Aloysius Gonzaga, , a sixteenth-century Italian Jesuit novice venerated as the patron saint of young students.

Despite the fanfare and festivities organized by the Mantuan princes, according to Cepari, the saint remained indoors and undistracted from his strict regimen of prayer, fasting, and meditation The image, according to the narrator, recalls the Orient and would seem to evoke the Near East as the origin of Western civilization, but the decorative references to Japan in the preceding chapter might also connect it to the aesthetic principals of ukiyo-e for rendering space. Instead of unfolding in conventional fashion, here the narrative evolves across a set of parallel picture planes that convey a tensely complex sense of progression and simultaneity.
The starlit sky serves as a backdrop, and the sweltering heat, an atmospheric foreground for multiple scenes that appear to be layered together: The warrior prints by nineteenth-century ukiyo-e artist Kuniyoshi Utagawa are unique, as Melinda Takeuchi observes, for the emphasis placed on dreams, ghostly apparitions, and supernatural feats 5. The half-asleep warrior draws his sword and injures the insect, but it still manages to escape with the aid of an evil brood of demons. At the end of his chronicle of the Paris Exposition, as mentioned earlier, he laments that Fortuny was not included in the official selection of paintings sent for exposition at the Spanish pavilion.
The evocation of the courtesan image is purposefully ironic, when, in the following chapter, she realizes the possible unsavory connotations of choosing an afternoon gown for the early morning mission; she fears being confused for a woman returning from a rendezvous. In the prints of Utamaro Kitagawa, these women are often shown preparing to receive clients: A key feature that heightens the realist effect of ukiyo-e paintings and prints reside in the moment of action selected for the depictions of their subjects.
Potential rather than consummation, as David Bell points out, produces a sense of gentle eroticism complemented by the underlying tension between the refinement of color and line and the unrefined nature of the subject matter Like the Japanese courtesan, her restoration results from her intention to be beautiful and to seduce. The ebony and ivory writing desk, the vases from the Zuloaga ceramic factories near Segovia, the fan decorated by Zamacois, and the watercolor by Fortuny, all add a japoniste dimension to the scene.
Whereas the furniture and Zuloaga vases evoke the hybrid mixing of Chinese and Japanese styles popular among mid-century consumers, the names Zamacois and Fortuny constitute a more literal connection to japonisme. The confrontation between the couple, thusly framed, replicates the tension underlying encounters between East and West that drive both aesthetics. El caso era grave Era de planta baja, constituido por larga serie de grandes salones en fila, decorados primorosamente.

Juan Manuel de Manzanedo Conceived as spaces reserved for connoisseurship of things-Japanese among men, such rooms were nonetheless also places of exchange in which prints and other objects were traded. In a striking ekphrastic exercise, the narrator continues: The placement of the figures and objects swirling about like butterflies, and the mind-bending architecture and twisted vegetation, capture the principals of asymmetry and suspension found in ukiyo-e prints.
The sense of floating associated with the hedonistic world of pleasure becomes literal as everything in the room, decorations and occupants, appear to be untethered against the dark colored background and removed from the real world that lies outside. Thus, it is worth noting that Milagros is present in the scene, even though the room is clearly marked as one usually reserved for male guests. His clinging to the antiquated notion of honor manifests a resistance to see the world as it is: But, as just one room among many designated for the accumulation of art objects of varied origin, it might also suggest that the collection of Japanese art at Suertebella is nothing more than a bibelot of japonaiseries.
In the strange countenances that decorate the space, Milagros may find solace, because they remind her of similar objects in her Madrid home, or because they recall the cadaveric figure of her dead son Luis lurking among them in the shadows. Either way, the gendering of the room implied in the narrative reflects how, by the mids, as the enthusiasm for things-Japanese reached Spain, the dynamics of japonisme began to shift beyond all-male circles, and the sites of japonisme, such as shops and themed-rooms, became gathering places for women as well Reed With the departures of the Tellerias, and later the Cimarras, the Japanese room is recovered as a refuge outside of time:
