- Synopsis
- Founded in 1913 as a counterpart to the all-male Kabuki theater, the all-female Takarazuka Revue is world-famous today for its rococo musical productions and fanatically devoted fans. Anthropologist Jennifer Robertson draws from over a decade of research to explore how the Revue illuminates popular culture in 20th-century Japan. 29 photos.
