Costume National supports Japanese theater

The European tour of Sugimoto Bunraku, sponsored by Costume National, also ​​made a stop in Italy on Friday 4 October.

On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Cultural Institute of Japan (a country to which the world of Costume National has always been linked), the Teatro Argentina in Rome presented the performance of "Double Love Suicide at Sonezaki" by Chikamatsu Monzaemon. One of most beloved classics of Bunraku, the evocative 18th century Japanese puppet theatre, it is a drama in which passion, sense of honour and deep respect for traditions live together. It was performed for the first time in Italy in its full version under the direction of Hiroshi Sugimoto.
