■ Comment from Tamasaburo Bando
As the first step of the "Time and Japanese Culture Project", we will hold a costume exhibition.
I am very happy that the costumes that I have been making since I was in my twenties will be gathered together at Seiko House Ginza as a costume exhibition that transcends time and can be seen by everyone.
Many costumes have been made one by one while discussing with the creators and craftsmen from time to time.
Since Japan has four distinct seasons, many Japanese performing arts are created with the four seasons in mind.
From there, I chose to show you seasonal costumes under the theme of "spring, summer, autumn and winter" this time. Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy it.
Bando Tamasaburo Kabuki actor
In December 1957, he made his first stage appearance as Kotaro in the Toyoko Hall "Terakoya" under the name Bando Kinoji. In 1964, he assumed the name Bando Tamasaburo V. He is also enthusiastic about adapting Kyoka Izumi's beautiful world to the stage, and has created many excellent stage productions, including his representative work "Tenshu Monogatari". In addition, he was invited to the Metropolitan Opera in New York at a young age and was acclaimed for his performance of "Sagimusume". He is also active internationally beyond the framework of Kabuki, such as developing a variety of collaborations with his family. In September 2012, she was certified as an Important Intangible Cultural Property Holder (Living National Treasure) as the fifth Kabuki woman. In 2013, he received the highest medal of the French Order of Arts and Letters, “Commandeur”.
