Pernille Rudlin gave a talk on September 16th 2023 on the Japanese performers who came to Norwich in the 19th and 20th centuries at the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures in Norwich, as part of the national Heritage Open Days.
The talk explored the lives of the sometimes overlooked individuals who performed as part of the itinerant acrobatic troupes that toured the UK and beyond, and what their experiences and lives reveal about British perspectives on Japanese culture at the time and vice versa.
