Scroll to see the amazing details on this stage curtain by Japanese artist Kawanabe Kyōsai.
This provocative and humorous artwork was painted for the Shintomi Theater on 30 June 1880. That day, after consuming a few bottles of rice wine, Kyōsai retreated to a studio and started painting. Four hours later he emerged with 17 meters of painted curtain, depicting the members of the acting company as various kinds of monsters. Kyōsai’s homage to the actors created a sensation – his spontaneous wit and expressive line stand at the root of modern manga.
