Release of Lash Magazine with portfolio of Quentin Cafferty: Onnagata.
“In 1630, when the Shogunate banned women from performing in Kabuki plays, the adolescent boys who took over their roles were called onnagata. These young actors, who wore women’s clothing both onstage and off, inflamed the passions of male and female patrons alike. The ensuing brawls and scandals ultimately led to the repeal of the ban in 1652.”
