ACROBATS, 1880s, Japanese painting, ink and color
ACROBATS, 1880s, Japanese painting, ink and color on paper. Acrobats perform using bamboo poles and other props for balancing acts. In the cities of the Edo period (1615?1868), Japanese elites would sponsor such troupes for public entertainment. Poems on the scroll humorously compare acrobatic feats with daily life (BSLOC_2017_16_11)
