In January, theater, Kunitachi, Heisei Nakamuraza, Asakusa Public Hall, and Lucetatre Ginza are opening lively Kabuki performances. At Luteatre Ginza, Tamasaburo's New Year Special Performance (Chiakiraku on the 26th) will be held as in last year, and a special menu is available for a limited time.
At the B1 cake shop, it is "Mikasayama" (1,250 yen for 5 cups) and original dorayaki of chef pastries, based on the performance performance "Senshiyama Women's Garden Kun". According to the store's explanation, "The pesticide-free glutinous glutinous rice (Shinjo-mura, Okayama) cultivated with the support of the Ginza Mitsubachi Project, plus Okinawan brown sugar and rum sake, made with Kumamoto Japanese chestnuts. It is sandwiched with cream. " Certainly it is the freshness that overturns the traditional dorayaki concept of Japanese and Western mix.
Another point is "Kabuki Gimov" (1,050 yen per box)
Gimov (guimauve) is marshmallow in French. Three colors of chocolate, apricot, and matcha, named after the Kabukiza official curtain. I'm happy with this kind of playfulness. It seems that this has been made since last year. Speaking of which, I think that it is still new to remember that Tamasaburo-san became the head of the stage in January when Ebizo was unable to perform and entered large.
The formal curtains currently used in Kabukiza are "black", "persimmon color" and "moeyo" from the left hand of the stage, "black", "moeyo" and "persimmon color", and Nakamuraza is "black", "white" and "persimmon color" . Nakamura-za was the oldest and first Kanzaburo Nakamura worshiped the curtain of the Shogunate's charter boat `` Ataka Maru '' and added persimmon color to it to three colors. It has been said that the official curtain of the current Kabukiza is "Mori (Mori) Taza" and the national ceremony curtain follows "Ichimura-za". However, recently, the theory has been published that "the common theory is based on false misidentification, and the color tone of Kabukiza is the same as that of Ichimura-za and that of the national government is" Morita-za ". (Shochiku's official website) If verification progresses in the future, the long-standing theory may be overturned. I'm curious.
As you all know, there is a monument to "the birthplace of Edo Kabuki" next to the police box on the opposite side of Chuo-dori in Luteatar Ginza. That's right. This is where Kansaburo Saruwaka opened a playhouse in Nakahashi Nanchi in the first year of Kanei (1624). For your information, the stone monument on the right is the birthplace of Akuni Kabuki at the entrance of Minamiza, Kyoto. This is 1603 (1603). There is also a stone monument of "Radish Riverside Ruins" near the monument of "Edo Kabuki Birthplace", so why not take a stroll before and after the theater?
