Kabukiza "July Hanagata Kabuki-Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan-"

[Tsukiji Nyanko] July 29, 2013 09:00

Yesterday, I watched the evening part of Kabukiza Theater, "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan".

Nanboku Tsuruya's masterpiece "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan" is a man and woman who are at the mercy of fate and ghosts.

It is a mysterious story depicting obsessions, and features such as "turning door" and "going Japanese lantern" are also highlights.

Since July is Hanagata Kabuki, many young Kabuki actors will appear.

Kikunosuke Onoe plays three roles such as rock.

Iyemon Mintani is Somegoro Ichikawa. Naosuke Gonbei is Shoroku Onoe.

Until last month, there was a three-part system with a drop period, but this month we returned to a two-part system.

Throughout Kyogen "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan" is between several intermissions.

I was able to appreciate the story with a slow mood.

A few months have passed since it opened, and some people are going to see Kabuki for the first time.
I think there are many people. For beginners of Kabuki

We recommend that you use the "Earphone Guide".


It explains the outline, highlights, and historical background of the story.
I think it's easier to understand the content by using the earphone guide.

There are also products related to the performance of the month at the souvenir shop.♫

At Kabukiza, he represents Japan such as Shiseido Parlour and Eitaro.

We recommend collaboration products with companies.

Souvenir I thought it would be good for this hot season.

The fan of the collaboration product "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan" with the fan Ibasen.

Mr. Iwa's grudgeful expression seems to make me feel cool.
