“Cute! Girls’ World – Katsudi Matsumoto and the Origin of Girls’ World”
Hyogo Prefectural Museum of History
This event has ended.
From the end of the Meiji period to the beginning of the Showa period, modern urban lifestyles flourished as well as new sense of independence among women. A new movement known as the “Modan Gaaru” (modern girl) came into being through media such as women’s schools and magazines.
This special exhibition features works by Hyogo-born artist Katsudi Matsumoto, who was a pioneer of lyrical painting, children’s painting, and manga at the height of “Girl” culture, with a focus on his works from the beginning of the Showa period. Through his works, this exhibition explores the origins of one of the major movements in contemporary Japanese culture.
