circle shapes. When he painted "city", "town",
"landscape", " space" and "face",
the circle shapes appeared in his works changing their form
and meaning. Inokuma had produced "space" works from
1980 to 1987. A lot of circles on this period seem to be painted
very strong. Inokuma told that he painted these circles as "the
sun", "the moon", "the earth" and the
other stars in the space. |

The Theatre Museum, dedicated to the memory
of Dr.Tsubouchi Shoyo, is devoted entirely to the study of the
history of drama. Within its walls are to be found materials
relating not only to the theatre arts of Japan, but to those
of other countries, of East and West, as well. In Japan there
is an abundance of materials and literature related to the Japanese
dramatic arts, the history of which covers a period of more
than one thousand years; moreover, Japan possesses in Kabuki
dramatic forms unique in the history of the world theatre. It
would, therefore, not be at all strange if the Museum specialized
only in the Japanese theatre. However, Dr. Tsubouchi's conception
of a theatre museum was something far broader and more comprehensive.
He envisioned such a museum as a storehouse of literature, prints
and other objects related to drama and theatre arts gathered
from all parts of the world. |
