Setsuko Hara

About

Setsuko Hara is an exhibition named after the Japanese actress most know for her role in Yasujiro Ozu's Tokyo Story, who in 1963 retired from acting and who has since lived a reclusive life in the city of Kamakura. The exhibition brings together work by artists from the U.K, Norway, Italy, China and Japan as a collection of thoughts around this character and the mystery of her withdrawal from public life almost 50 years ago.

A book Setsuko Hara has been produced by Richard Bevan and Tamsin Clark and published by The Block to accompany the exhibition.
