Arts & Performances

Kyoto is a birth place of traditional arts, crafts and performances of Japan,
and has been maintaining its tradition with the coming of the new age.
Here GTK'd like to introduce the monthly art highlights, museums, creators etc.

Ukiyoe in summer


This exhibition features Ukiyoe -woodblock printings from the Edo period, with images of summer activities on the riverbank.
In Ukiyoe, some people enjoyed meals on the platform built over the river, some people looked over Hanabi -fireworks from the boat.
Beautiful pattern with Japanese flowers or famous Kabuki actors were depicted on their summer kimono, fans and other accessories.
You can enjoy not only the summer scene in the Edo period but also the elaborate Japanese skill on art about two centuries ago.
