 アート・リサーチセンターは、25年を超える活動の中で、国内外の文化資源を数多くデジタルアーカイブしてきたのと同時に、研究活動の中で、さまざまな原物資源も収蔵してきました。その中でも、設立当時からの大きな柱であるのが、歌舞伎資料です。
昨年公開された映画「国宝」は、歌舞伎俳優の激動の半生を描いた作品で、高い評価を得て、邦画実写興行収入の記録を更新する大ヒットとなりました。「国宝」効果により、歌舞伎は再び注目を集めるコンテンツとなっています。
今回、この映画「国宝」も意識しつつ、アート・リサーチセンターの歌舞伎資料を代表する作品により、歌舞伎やそれを記録してきたメディアの魅力を展示します。

The 15th Forum for Knowledge, Arts, and Culture in Digital Humanities will be held on Saturday, March 14, 2026.

About the Forum for Knowledge, Arts, and Culture in Digital Humanities

 Along with the rapid development of the digital and information environment in recent years, we are seeing more and more cross-disciplinary research in academic fields with an awareness of "information" and "digital". This trend is gaining momentum in higher education and research activities as well, and educational programs and course activities related to this trend are being enhanced.

　The need for opportunities for academic exchange among undergraduate and graduate students and young researchers studying in such programs under new research themes in line with the times is ever increasing.

　For this reason, the Forum for Knowledge, Arts, and Culture in Digital Humanities was established in 2011 as a place for presentation and exchange, with a focus on graduate students and young researchers interested in information and knowledge research in arts, culture, and other related fields, and 14 research meetings have been held to date.

　This meeting is positioned as a place where participants can mutually discover new research themes and methods through human exchange in different fields, and we also welcome exploratory and adventurous presentations that are slightly different from conventional conference presentations.

■ Date: March 14 (Sat), 2026,

Future Plaza Conferece Room, Ritsumeikan University Osaka Ibaraki Campus

Exhibit: The World of Hand-Painted Movie Posters and Signboards IV

Dates: December 1 (Mon) - 6 (Sat), 2025
Time: 10:00-17:00
Location: Multi-Purpose Room, Art Research Center, Ritsumeikan University (Kinugasa campus)
Admission: Free
Organizers:
* Art Research Center, Ritsumeikan University
*"Kyoto Street Culture Archive: Memories of the Pop Culture Featuring the Streets, and their Visualization" Project (ARC-iJAC Digital Humanities Center for Japanese Arts and Cultures)
*"Project for the Construction of an Archive of Non-Film Materials Related to Showa period Movie theatre Culture" (Kakenhi C)

In the early Showa period, as motion pictures moved from silent films to "talkies," hand-drawn posters adorned the interiors of Kyoto cinemas, advertising both the films currently being shown, and upcoming releases. At that time, each week typically saw new film releases, resulting accordingly in a great diversity and number of posters.

In the fourth installment of this exhibit, we are featuring posters produced at the Shinko Kinema studios for display at the Shochiku-za, Kyoto-za, and other Shochiku-affiliated movie theatres. These include posters illustrated by Takeda Kosei (Ihachiro), who was famous at the time in the world of Kabuki for the posters and signboards he produced for Kyoto's Minami-za Kabuki theatre. Please enjoy this world of hand-drawn movie posters, designed with compositions, touches, and typefaces selected to suit each film.

The hand-drawn posters in this exhibit are a selection of those held by the Kyoto cinema posters production studio Takematsu Gabo. The studio's collection includes roughly 800 posters, all of which were made to be displayed in Shochiku-affiliated cinemas in central Kyoto around 1928 to 1942. Similar posters were presumably displayed at other cinemas, but only these are known to survive, making them exceptionally important resources for understanding the movie industry and cinema culture of that time. This six-day exhibit features roughly 80 posters made at the Shinko Kinema studios in 1936-1937, as well as maps and photographs of Kyoto cinemas from the 1950s-1970s, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the Kyoto of that time.

The 156th International ARC Seminar will be held as a webinar on Wednesday, Novrmbr 26, from 18:30 JST.

The program is as follows:

Speakers: Takashi Kirimura (Associate Professor, Faculty of Cultural Studies, Kyoto Sangyo University / Professor, College of Arts and Design, Ritsumeikan University)

Topic: "Digital Archive of Past Urban Landscape Using Photogrammetry"

Date: Wednesday, November 26 , 2025, 18:30 - 20:00 JST

Participation: free of charge
