Playful transformations: parody in ukiyo-e prints
Delve into the colourful world of Japanese theatre-inspired prints with Dr Ellis Tinios. Explore the parodies and puzzles in them that so entranced the print-buying public.
Dr Ellis Tinios will guide you through scenes from 'Kanadehon Chushingura'. This popular play in the kabuki repertoire is a fruitful source of material for Japanese print artists. Learn about how those artists created unexpected links between dramatic moments in kabuki plays and humdrum moments in daily life.
