Kabuki Chronicles: Meiji Era Kabuki Shinpo Compendium - Japan - Meiji period (1868-1912)

Step into the vibrant world of Meiji-period Japan with this exquisite compendium of the Kabuki Shinpo, issues 791 to 800. Published in the 20th year of Meiji (1887) by the Kabuki Shinpo Society, this collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the illustrious realm of kabuki theatre during a time of cultural flourish. Each edition within this bound volume is a visual delight, featuring colorful woodblock prints that capture the dramatic flair and elaborate costumes characteristic of kabuki performances. The pages, marked by the passage of time, bear the authentic signs of age—fading, stains, and creases—testaments to the enduring legacy of these publications. The scent of moth repellents faintly lingers on the pages, evoking the diligent efforts to preserve these documents over the decades. A prominent fold runs through the center, and scattered spotting throughout the pages narrates the journey this collection has endured. Despite these age-related imperfections, the compendium remains a treasure trove for aficionados of kabuki and Japanese history. It not only reflects the artistic splendor of the era but also provides an insightful look into the social fabric of Meiji Japan through the lens of its most celebrated theatrical form.
