For the performance of Kabuki? It's done!

 April 3.

On the roof of the Kabukiza Theater, a phoenix round tower was built.

The character on the side of the purple turret is "Kibikicho Kyagenzukushi Kabukiza".

The red flags of "April Daikabuki" and "Today's first day" were hung.

It was a light rain sky, but the heat of the people who dressed gorgeously made me feel excited.

"Honno Adauchi Kobikicho" or

"Yukibujo Shibukuri-Sode (Akaki Furisode)"

I thought the topic would be like this.

He came as it was, "Adachi in Kibiki-cho."

On the stage, "Kibiki-cho" was lined with playhouses and created the bustle of Edo.

It is a long and narrow town across a road formed north and south on the east side of Sankumabori, which was excavated in 1612.

Wood grinding refers to cutting the cut log with a saw.

The origin of the place name is that a sawmiller lived with the renovation of Edo Castle.

 

As a new Kabuki, it was the daytime performance of Shochiku's 130th anniversary, "April Daika Kabuki".

There was a feeling that this novel would eventually become a stage of storytelling.

Each curtain is written by one of the characters.

In words as a dialogue, the tone, tempo of the person, and the bustle of the city of Edo, which is the background, appear.

The three major stories of "speaking", "reading" and "speaking" were recalled.

I would like to ask Mr. Ensei for rakugo and Mr. Hakuyama for talks.

In the case of Nankyoku, the beautiful voice of Mikako Toya is good.

There are great expectations for what kind of world will be reflected.

 

That's why it jumped out as a kabuki.

At once, it can be seen as a group art on the stage.

A sub-reader for Knowing the Age of the Taiga "Berabo"

Is it a supplementary reading Kabuki performance to learn about the era of the Taiga "Berabo"? It's done!

 ※ From the brochure of April Daikabuki

When the story of the era was that Edo culture flourished.

An old man Okitsugu Tanuma lost his leg and Sadanobu Matsudaira became old.

Speaking of which, if you have a good idea, you will think, "I think it will overlap when Juzaburo Tsutaya was active."

Kobiki-cho is like a picture of the prosperity of Edo.

In the playhouse, people with complicated ways of coming to support the play gather.

I am happy to see the performances of the plays and the actors of the masterpieces everywhere.

 

In Taiga drama series's "Berabo", the lines of the characters are stabbed in my heart.

They seem to be reproduced, and it feels strange.

It can be said to be a guide or a sub-reader for further understanding dramas.

Kabuki Inari Shrine sits on the right side of the Kabukiza Theater.

It is worshiped in prayer for the prosperity, security, and peace of the neighborhood.

vermilion seal stamp is fashionable.

The regular version is written on blank paper, but the first-day limited edition of the box office is available in yellow paper.

A limited edition is also available for Senakiraku, and it is orange.

(For April Daikabuki, on April 25, Senakiraku)

 

 For the performance of Kabuki? It's done!

If you describe a work in a single word, I think the word "clean" applies.

This book has been awarded in conjunction with the 35th Shugoro Yamamoto Award.

The atmosphere of the mountain periphery, which continued to give a warm gaze to the people of Ichii, was fully satisfied.

 

The first day's curtain opened.

By the way, do you read a book and then watch Kabuki, or do you read it?

I think both of them are interesting.
