Kabuki captivated 19th-century Japanese artists.
With its dramatic storylines, lush costumes and celebrity actors, kabuki was the ideal subject for Japanese print designers. Stage Idols, Japanese Kabuki Theater features a stunning selection of woodblock prints from PEM’s collection, many of which are on view for the first time. The exhibition features a rotating selection of more than forty 19th-century prints — including works by famed print designer Utagawa Kunisada — as well as rare kabuki-related objects, such as costumes, photographs and signboards. Curated by Midori Oka, PEM's Curator of Japanese Art and Culture.
