On August 13, when the return rush during the Bon holiday peaked, Matsuya Onoe's independent performance "Challenge" celebrated its first day at Nihonbashi Public Hall Nihonbashi Theater (until the 15th). It seems that this year will be the sixth year. The first day is a performance. It started at 17:30.
I went inside almost at the same time as the opening time and watched the flowers and posters in the lobby. I found Matsuya's mother. I was greeted by the people involved. I think it's a great job.
And "Perin Anmitsu" produced by Matsuya-san, in collaboration with "Edo Amami Shosui Tengu Tsukushi" in Ningyocho, was sold in a small soba inoguchi of Arita porcelain. It seems that 50 pieces will be sold at each performance, but it seems that you can purchase them at the store after all the performances are over (advance reservation required). August 16-31.

First of all, from your mouth. Matsuya explained the performance and its highlights. By the way, this time, I was able to take a seat right next to Hanamichi. "I wish this was Kabukiza ..." A few minutes after the mouth began, the footsteps of walking along the flower path with a stagger ... What? Looking back, the late visitor crossed the flower path without hesitation and sat in his seat. Certainly, it's not a theater dedicated to Kabuki or a small theater, but it's unlikely that you will walk on the flower path. In this case, I asked myself, "Is the Kabukiza just too long for May?", And asked myself, who was upset by an unexpected event, but I am not wondering why there was no guidance from the staff. Mr. Matsuya on the way to the mouth seemed to be a little surprised, but recently, those who are making a noise with something, of course, finished their mouth without delay, and it was the beginning.
The first performance is "Twinchokuruwaniki Hikimado".
As I explained in my mouth that the "drawing window" attached to the roof to capture the outside light and the "Chozubachi" placed in the garden would be the key, there was a scene where I was surprised, expressing the compassion and affection of this work.
The second performance is the “festival” set in Edo town, which is crowded with the “Sanno Festival” at Akasaka Hie-jinja Shrine.
When I saw the same performance by Nizaemon Kataoka at Kabukiza June Daikabuki, it was a return performance, so it was very gorgeous, and it was new to my memory that the stage and the audience were united. However, today's "festival" also features entertainers and young people who performed Tokumatsu Onoue and Yoshiya Uemura, who danced the stage and Kazuto Onoue.
There was also a lottery during the intermission, and the production that did not get tired delighted the audience. Unfortunately, I didn't hit anything ...
Click here for the schedule of Nihonbashi Public Hall in August. There are several Kabuki events, but this month I already went to the Kabukiza Theater and I've endure Gaman ...
Kabuki is fun.
