FRENCH VERSION
From the Edo period to the Meiji era, Japan celebrates the art of entertainment : acrobats, monkey-showers and scholarly beasts populate the prints of Hokusai, Yoshiharu and Chikanobu. With more than eighty works from the prestigious collection of Jeanne-Yvonne and Gérard Borg, Street Performers in Japan explores the world of misemono, these popular and ephemeral festivals that animated urban life.
Both admired and marginalized, street artists are the privileged witnesses of a Japan in full change, at the crossroads of cultural paths.
Between tradition and modernity, from Edo to Tokyo, this book invites the reader to a new immersion in a world of curiosity, inventiveness and virtuosity.
Exhibition at the Museum of Asian Arts in Nice from February 28 to June 28, 2026.
