A Celebration of Japanese Fashion

March 28–July 9, 2023

Gallery 138 & 139
Free Admission
Friends of Fashion Arts and Textiles, Friends of Prints, Friends of East Asian Art

Drawn from our holdings, this installation celebrates Japanese fashion from our collection of prints, east Asian, and fashion arts. Rarely seen because of their light sensitivity, these objects coincide with a lecture by Fashion Arts curator, Cynthia Amneus, on kimono and relates to the Cincinnati Opera’s production of Puccini’s heart-rending Madame Butterfly.
