Panorama-kan of Meiji Japan Friday, January 15, 2010
Immerse yourself in the history of Japanese panoramas at the Velaslavasay Panorama's "Panorama-kan of Meiji Japan," a lecture by media art scholar Dr. Machiko Kusahara. The discussion includes the doctor's explications on the historical significance of panorama-kan ("panorama exhibition halls") in Japan, including most famously Tokyo's Nippon Panorama, built in 1890 and demolished in 1910. While a phenomenon at the time, the popularity of the panorama in Japan was ultimately short-lived; the Meiji Era ended in 1912. Relive the magic! Velaslavasay Panorama, 1122 W. 24th St., L.A.; Sat., Jan. 16, 8 p.m.; $10, $8 students & seniors. (213) 746-2166, www.brownpapertickets.com/event/94258. (Originally published in L.A.
