Setsuko Hara will be showing in the Oriel Sycharth Gallery from 22 January to 15 March.
The exhibition is named after the Japanese actress best known 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 as a collection of thoughts around this character and the mystery of her withdrawal from public life almost 50 years ago.
The show is curated by Welsh Artist Richard Bevan and features works by three Welsh artists, Brendan Stuart Burns, Rebecca Spooner and Anthony Shapland, who runs the G39 gallery in Cardiff. Pieces by Chinese, Japanese, English and Norwegian are also included in the collection.
