The Japanese Kabuki theatre (a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2005) has its origins in the 17th century and was initially performed only by women. Soon, however, men also took over the female roles. Based on woodblock prints from the museum's holdings as well as loans from other collections, the exhibition tells the fascinating history of Kabuki through the centuries.
