A Lost Histor, Professor Risley and the Imperial Japanese Troupe: How an American
Wednesday, Jan 30 6:00p
Mechanics' Institute Library & Chess Room
San Francisco,
CA
In 1866, Risley’s Imperial Japanese Troupe arrived in San Francisco. Their acrobatics soon became the toast of the town and triggered the West’s craze for Japanese culture. Meet author Fred Schodt who will discuss his research odyssey in archives on four continents and present the lost history of this Japanese sensation outlined in his book Professor Risley and the Imperial Japanese Troupe: How an American Acrobat Introduced Circus to Japan -- and Japan to the West.
