Project for 2025-2026 - Work in progress.

Engaging in a dialogue with Seiki Kuroda’s Chi (智), Kan (感), Jō (情) (Wisdom, Impression, Sentiment) and drawing on the form of Kabuki dance onnagata (female forms), I seek to explore the evolving conceptions of the “body” and “beauty” from the Edo and Meiji periods to the present day.

In so doing, I aim to embody and render a personal vision of feminine beauty, rooted in the present moment, as a woman of this era.

本企画では、黒田清輝の「智・感・情」との対話、そして歌舞伎舞踊・女形の「型」の技術を用いて、江戸、明治そして現代に至るまでの「身体」と「美」のあり方を考察し、今を生きる女性として、私なりの等身大の今を表現したいと思います。
