Ningyo: Japanese Dolls from Turin.
exhibitions on Japanese culture, which the association regularly organizes Yoshin Ryu in Turin, never cease to amaze and fascinate me.
this time offering a route discovery of the Japanese dolls: the rites, superstitions, but also the everyday life scenarios that they have represented for the traditional culture of this country.
E 'known as the dolls and idols are part of human culture since prehistoric times.
In Japan, Shinto beliefs do not separate the object from the game ritual: each doll retains an emanation of the spirit of the artist who created.
Through their story you can read the evolution of political and religious views of the country. In over two hundred existing typologies are found the craftsmanship and materials typical of the various regions, from wood to bamboo, the paper, to porcelain ivory.
In Japan today are spread Schools ningyo even in big industrial cities. Their presence is enough to sign friendship, protect from evil and accompanying growth in boys and girls, being too faithful playmate.
If this first exhibition displays traditional dolls and links to last year on the masks of the theater No, soon it will begin a second, which focuses on the mechanical dolls and their future.
So, pending the completion of the cultural route, you can visit Ningyo at Palazzo Barolo, in Via delle Orphan, 7.
Meanwhile, I suggest you browse the official website the show and subscribe to facebook page.
