Our upcoming lecture and a thought-provoking discussion will focus on the nuanced realms of pain and pleasure in Japanese culture. During this event we will dive into unconventional perspectives, exploring the art of shibari as a form of sensory pleasure and pain and the intricate world of kabuki where emotions are expressed through performance that transcends all feelings. The lecture will also shed light on the unique experience of wearing a kimono, unveiling the fine balance between the tactile pleasures and the subtle discomforts inherent in this traditional garment. Join us as we navigate the complex interplay of sensations within these cultural expressions, offering a unique lens through which to appreciate the profound connections between pain, pleasure, and the cultural wisdom of Japan.
