GregoryD. Ivy Gallery, Through Aug. 7 - "Encore!:Japanese Actor Prints from the Permanent Collection".During the early 1700s in Japan, a newform of artistic expression known as ukiyo-e—orfloating world pictures—developed. Ukiyo-e oftendepicted the escapist and ephemeral pleasuresoffered at the time by the entertainment districtsof the cities of Edo (present-day Tokyo) andOsaka. Although very different in character,two popular forms of entertainment were Nohand Kabuki theater. While Noh plays demonstratedan economy of expression and limitedrepertoire, Kabuki theaters were lively placesto see and be seen. Kabuki plays provided aday’s worth of entertainment, offering the latestfashion trends and newest music in addition toengaging stories performed by famous actorswho held the almost iconic stature that actorstoday possess.
