About
A Japanese arts festival exploring mortality through performance, talks, art, workshops and crafts.
The opening pairs nōkanshi Koki Kimura’s live encoffining ceremony with calligraphy by Taisan Tanaka and a Hokusai-inspired coffin. It is an unusually focused Thursday program that approaches mortality through craft, ritual and reflection rather than spectacle alone.
