Kabuki is a traditional Japanese performing art .
Theword“kabuki” originates from “kabuku”(to be eccentric).
The “kabuki dance,” considered the root of kabuki, featured performancesin costumes imitating the“kabukimono”—eccentric individuals who defied social norms with theiravant-garde fashion.
Embracing trends without being bound by existing ideas,
entertaining people—this is the spirit kabuki has continuously passed down.
What makes kabuki possible is drama, dance, and music.
Pursuing entertainment through these three elements,
it has been refined into a single comprehensive art form.
The result of greedily absorbing interesting things and continuously devising and striving to entertainis what made kabuki so diverse.
Countless ingenious efforts by actors and backstage staff are layered into a single work,
and the culmination of all that, right now, unfolds on the stage before your eyes—that is kabuki!
