Description

This catalogue accompanies the exhibition Beauties, Ghosts, and Samurai. The Japanese Pop Culture Tradition From Edo Ukiyo-e to Manga, Anime, and Sūpā Furatto in the 20th and 21st Centuries, displayed in 2024 at the LNMA National Gallery of Art. This is one of the few attempts (and the first one in Lithuania) to exhibit the interconnections of the materials that are rarely, if ever, displayed together in a museum space: ukiyo-e prints, historical giga caricatures, erotic shunga booklets, commercial hikifuda posters, pre-war and post-war manga comics, cards from children’s menko games, posters of anime films and computer games, advertising video clips of the famous cosmetics company Shiseido, an animated historical kabuki theatre curtain, excerpts from renowned anime films, and works by Japanese contemporary artists (including representatives of the sūpā furatto movement) in painting, graphics, photography, animation, and sculpture that reflect, sometimes ironise and question these materials.
