About the event
Ukiyo-e woodblock prints — a defining artistic tradition of Japan, admired across the world for their elegance and vitality.
Within a space carefully curated around this iconic visual culture, Nihon Buyo — designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan — brings the spirit of Edo to life through the refined resonance of Nagauta shamisen.
As stillness meets movement, the aesthetic sensibility of Edo awakens the senses.
The setting is a historic Taisho-period residence in Koishikawa — a rare example of early modern Japanese architecture.
On May 14, in this tranquil space at the heart of Tokyo, Edo unfolds in living form — for one day only.
