House of Japanese Culture in Paris
Maison de la culture du Japon à Paris is giving away tickets to students via the newsletter Culture et loisirs for the exhibition Tokyo, Birth of a Modern City from November 6, 2024 to February 2, 2025.
Edo, the former shogun capital, became Tokyo in 1868 and modernized at great speed throughout the Meiji era. But in 1923, during the Taishô era, the great Kantô earthquake devastated the city. While the last districts that had preserved the atmosphere of yesteryear disappeared, reconstruction enabled Tokyo to accelerate its modernization. It is this radical transformation of Tokyo into a modern city during the 1920s and 1930s that the MCJP's new exhibition presents.
For the occasion, the Edo-Tokyo Museum has loaned us around a hundred works from its collection: a large number of modern prints rarely shown in France, as well as posters, photographs and fashion accessories. These prints in a variety of innovative styles, signed by the great printmakers of the period, oscillate between fascination with these upheavals and nostalgia for the Tokyo of yesteryear.
