Moynat with Kazumasa Nagai unveils the celebratory stage curtain for the Kabuki Theatre in Kyoto

The celebratory stage curtain has been unveiled at the historic Minamiza Theater in Kyoto. Created in honor of Kikugoro Onoe VIII and Kikunosuke Onoe VI for their name-taking performance at the Minamiza Theater, the curtain features an original artwork created by Japanese design master Kazumasa Nagai in collaboration with Moynat. The curtain features Renjishi, the iconic Kabuki dance of the Twin Lions, and the Mount Fuji interpreted with Moynat’s M monogram. ‘I decided to draw the famous twin lions – performed by the father & the son with flowing hair & expressing Mount Fuji with Moynat’s M monogram, to preserve tradition while continually introducing new creativity and how it carries on across generation’. - Kazumasa Nagai ‘We are witnessing a true crossroads of tradition and innovation - Kazumasa Nagai, a master of contemporary art together with Moynat’s deep craftsmanship savoire-faire, a French maison with over 170 years of history - collaborating with Kabuki theater, a 400-year-old tradition’. - Kikugoro Onoe VIII The production premieres on December 1, 2025, at the Minamiza Theater in Kyoto. @NipponDesignCenter #Moynat
