November 28 Participated in "Learn the world of Kabuki from the backside of Kabukiza and Kibikicho Plaza and from the props" jointly planned by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association and Pokekaru Club. At 9:50, we gathered at Kabuki Inari Daimyojin. A total of 20 people. The group was divided into two groups, and the first group was guided by Mogi of Kabukiza Service Co., Ltd., and the second group was guided by Nishimura. . In the morning, we descended underground from the front of Kabukiza and looked around the shop of "Kibikicho Square".
From the left to the front of the Kabukiza Theater with decorations on the first day of December 2. Kumatori's "face pack". "Good luck hammer" of "Hinemosu". I bought it as a souvenir.
"Iroha Kintsuba"'s demonstration, a snack at 3:00 was served with Atatsu Kintsuba. It was very sweet and delicious. This is also purchased as a souvenir. In the name of "Iroha", he talked about Professor Toshio Kawatake's naming because the seat order of Kabukiza was "Iroha", and talked about Kintsuba.
The photo above is where you are wearing a single tooth clog. It's hard to balance. I was able to try it.
The upper part is a large lantern located in Kiboricho Square. Height 2.2mx diameter 1.9m. Go up to the 5th floor to see the Kabukiza Gallery. Explore the back side of Kabukiza at VIDEO guided by Somegoro. It was good to see the backside which was hard to see.
Lunch at "Hanago" (chartered) on the third floor. Mr. Tokaibayashi, the head chef, explained the contents of the lunch box. It is said that the lunch box from the Edo period was restored. However, the amount of rice was half that of that time, and the seasoning seemed to be deeper in the Edo period. At the top of the middle is a kamaboko that imitates a formal curtain, which is colored with "black sesame, kuchinashi, spinach". It was delicious.
After the lunch box, challenge "Subling fan" and "Kendama".
It seems simple and this is quite difficult.
It is possible to hit it, but the score is low alone, and it seems that a high score can be obtained by the relationship between the target on the box and the fan falling.
Everyone was enjoying it.
"Kendama" was also challenging.
After the game, there was talk about stage equipment and props by Adachi of Kabukiza Stage Co., Ltd. (right).
It seems that the company will start in 1655.
Kanbee Hasegawa, an example, appears in the history of Kabuki during the Edo period, is the first one.
On the left is Mogi of Kabukiza Service Co., Ltd., and he himself seems to have a connection to Kabukiza for generations.
Kabuki is still supported by tradition.
With such a tour content, 5 hours passed quickly. Will the viewpoint of seeing Kabuki be a little different from now on?
In addition, "Kiboricho Plaza" is said to be evacuation site for those who cannot return home in the event of a disaster. I forgot the exact number, but it seems that a considerable number of people can be accommodated.
