Four Seasons of Kabuki
Kabuki is a traditional performing art that expresses the joy of experiencing the four seasons on the stage. The symbols of each season seen on the Kabuki stage play an important role in effectively conveying the story of the drama being performed. This exhibition enables visitors to see numerous “arts” created by Kabuki through costumes and props used on the stage as well as materials in our collection such as nishiki-e (“multi-color woodblock ukiyoe print”) and stage photographs.
