I came to the last show of "Heisei". In January, in addition to Shimbashi Enbujo, Asakusa Public Hall, the National Theater and Kabukiza, three theaters are also Kabuki performances! When you enter the Kabukiza lobby, you can enjoy the gorgeousness of early spring with decorations such as large kagami mochi, kites and rice cake flowers, as well as the New Year's dress.

It's full. I'm a little worried that my neck will hurt because it's near the flower path in the first row today.

The first act of the night part is "Amagasaki quiet place" called "Taju" in "Picture Taikoki". It's a masterpiece of Gitayu Kyogen. Mitsuhide is Yoshiemon, his son Jiro is Koshiro, his son, Tozo, the role of Satsuki, is ill and has been absent from the 4th, and the substitute is Hidetaro. Speaking of which, Mr. Sadanji of theater is also out of physical condition. The actor has no rest for 25 days, so it's certainly hard work. After the lively "shi lion" is "Sho-chiku-bai Yushima Kakebana". It is a comical Oshichi Yaoya, with Shichinosuke on Shichi, Koshiro on Yoshi Saburo, and Sarunosuke on Hyokinsha's "Redcho" on Sarunosuke, and the audience seats are laughing. "The Seven of the Ogura" is performed with a doll swing, and applause excites the work that can only be seen by Shichinosuke's completely Bunraku dolls. I always think that the scene of "The Seven of the Ogura" is one of the best stage art in terms of "beauty". In the snow that is getting more intense. It is really beautiful that the seven red kago-shaped costume climbs the tower.

When I came home and started changing clothes, the snow began to fall. I feel the lingering sound of the stage and it is "Fufufufu". This year's New Year Kabuki is popular among children. Kunitachi has two grandchildren, Kikugoro, and theater has two children, Ebizo. Please go out to feel the feeling of "early spring".

For early spring Kabuki Senakiraku, please contact Tickethon Shochiku at 0570-000-489 (10:00-18:00)

In the daytime section, "Tode Sanbaso", "Yoshinari Kotobuki Soga", "Kkakubun" and "Ichijo Daikura Tan".
