5 Elements Water -detail  Master Kawana copyright

 

Master Tetsunori Kawana is an internationally renowned practitioner of contemporary Japanese bamboo sculpture. For more than 30 years he has travelled worldwide by invitation to create breathtaking bamboo installations of a spectacular scale unseen in the related traditional practice of Ikebana. This winter, the Grollo-Equiset Garden at NGV International will be transformed by Master Kawana through his creation of Five Elements – Water, a unique bamboo sculpture of vast physical proportion and lyrical power.

Kabuki Theatre Posters 

by Torii Kiyotada VIII (1900-1976)

image_Kabuki_painting1.jpg   image_kabuki_actors_2.jpg 


From the famous Torii family, the primary lineage of artists and promoters associated with the Kabuki Theatre houses since the early C17th. The family is partly responsible for bringing the rich Kabuki culture from Osaka to Edo (Tokyo) in the late C17th. The family's work had great influence on the ukiyo-e woodblock print movement, and some kabuki posters are still produced by members of the family today.

Four paintings dating to the 1960s, 146cm x 92cm. Currently offered unframed.
(two earlier posters from the family are also available).
