KH Gallery Ginza will hold the exhibition entitled “Hiroko Koshino – New Creations of Traditional Performing Arts”. Koshino grew up watching Kabuki with her grandfather and became acquainted with various forms of Japanese traditional culture. In particular, she has trained in Nagauta Shamisen for many years: she is an accredited performer belonging to Kinekatsukai. For the national competition of Nagauta Kinekatsukai which will be held in the Kabukiza Theatre in late April this year, she will draw the stage background for the Shokyokushu medley. This exhibition presents the new original ink paintings for the stage background, as well as Koshino’s works related to traditional culture. The original stage background paintings that she drew for famous Nagauta songs express the diverse worlds of Sumi ink. These works will be printed on large stage curtains using the technology of Seiren Co., Ltd. and will decorate the climax scene. The exhibition will also present kimono that she painted directly with a brush to wear it at the concert, as well as lacquerware that she decorated on the occasion of her exhibition in Sabae, Fukui Prefecture, in 2018. All the works displayed in the exhibition are the results of collaboration brought forth by Koshino who truly loves Japanese traditional performing arts and culture. Please enjoy the new creations that combine the value of tradition with a modern aesthetic sense, through which Koshino hopes people feel closer to the traditional art.

The Kobe Fashion Museum will hold a fashion show produced by the honorary director Hiroko Koshino who is a world-famous fashion designer and artist.
 
This fashion show is planned and managed by the honorary director Koshino herself and will propose styling based on each person's unique charms. 100 models selected in the open audition can appear in the fashion show, which will be an exceptional experience. The two-day fashion show will present the latest fashion on the stage with elaborate audiovisual production to communicate the enjoyment of fashion and promote Kobe to the world as a City of Fashion. Please reserve your seat or apply to be a model.
