The body that is the central focus of this "Seeking New Genealogies" exhibition, is the body of Kyogen and Noh master Mansai Nomura. Six-hundred years of Kyogen traditional forms and physical memory have been passed from father to son through the extremely pure process of Isshisōden and installed in this body, so that now, in 2014, his body carries the same "presence" as when it existed in the space and time of 600 years ago.
