Festival to watch in the world of Kabuki

Hello.

I want to change an idea a little this time. It is a place to always catch mule Festival itself, and to speak in detail, but wants to introduce the program that Kabuki about the Japanese festival is various.

At first the thing to introduce is “There is a festival.” According to the name, it feature the theme of a festival of Edo called the Sanno Festival. Only as for people who seem to still go to the festival including a merchant and the head fireman who came to the character who came to the character who came out to this for the festival. In an atmosphere to be cheered up by Sanno Festival of Akasaka, Hie-jinja Shrine for contents, it is the dancing thing that the head fireman of slight intoxication addition and subtraction begins to dance noisily. This program is to be shown in gala opening of Kabukiza from April. In addition, this is staged as a program to give to late Kanzaburo Nakamura in last December.

This is because it is the year when Kabukiza which is the most big theater of Kabuki which is a Japanese traditional entertainment is rebeared as for this reason, it which I featured the theme of this year this time, and it opens newly. Kabukiza which was forced to closing with deterioration in April, 2010. Then Kabukiza revives in April of this year when three years pass. However, it was three years that I was sad for these three years, and were hard. The death of the Kabuki actor had a big first damage. A series of death of the living national treasure. There were many cases of the all death from an illness, and this came to be said until ”A spell of Kabukiza ” among the fans all.

In late years Kabuki gives a performance in all parts of the world, and there are many works known globally. However, the person who performed a Kabuki performance like that in a foreign country hangs it in this year from last year and dies in succession and feels it when an opportunity to perform it globally from now on may disappear. I forgot to say it, but originally Kabuki is that the common people were seen from a foreigner to a feudal lord at the time of flower viewing of the cherry tree from the start. In other words flower viewing to say in Japan was a kind of festival, and Kabuki rooted in the mass society there. Would you have you understand the close relation of Kabuki and the festival?

I wrote it about a relation with Kabuki this time. I thought about an example, but Kabuki didn’t have it to there. There was the work called the summer festival Naniwa model, too, but meanings were totally different though the character called the festival was used. But I was able to learn about the relation of Kabuki and the festival on the occasion of writing this article. “In Commemoration of the new Opening of the New Kabukiza Kabuki: Theaters during the Edo period” is held in Suntory Museum in Japan until March 31, and the document which understands the relation with the festival there is displayed. I recommend that he/she goes to look because it is interesting.

Then as for the next time in fun.
