Costumes of celebration
Pola Museum Annex
15 January – 21 February 2016
For New Year 2016, this gallery in Ginza will be adorned with the genealogy of “beauty” blossomed during the Edo Period. The exhibition is organized around four themes of “marriage” (literarily, woman’s marriage into a family), “rites of passage to adulthood”, “celebratory costumes” and “auspicious designs”. It sheds light on customs and attires of special occasions: wedding kimonos, auspicious accessories and tools, makeup items that marrying women brought in from their natal home, and women’s rites of passage such as the blackening of teeth and shaving eyebrows after marriage.The exhibition commemorates the 40th anniversary of Pola Research Institute of Beauty & Culture, engaged in studies and dissemination of information on “cosmetics, women and aesthetics”.
