Sixth Generation Kikugoro is a photo book published as the 17th volume in the Sonorama Shashin Sensho series.
This collection focuses on the esteemed kabuki actor Onoe Kikugorō VI (1885–1949), capturing his dynamic stage performances and the artistry of kabuki theater.
Kimura’s black-and-white photographs offer a very personal glimpse into the world of traditional Japanese performing arts, highlighting the elegance and emotion of Kikugorō’s portrayals.
