This exhibition examines the "power of attire" through the various cultures and expressions of cross-dressing in Japan from ancient times to the present day. What are the boundaries between men and women? What does it mean to transcend these boundaries? What is masculinity and femininity? By tracing a part of the genealogy of cross-dressing in Japan, this exhibition will explore how it has been expressed and consider the "past" and "future" of cross-dressing.
Some exhibits will be changed during the exhibition period.
