Kabuki Saturday
Last Saturday I took the train to Fuji City to see this Kabuki performance. The name of this play is Matuura No Taiko, and it starred a very famous Kabuki actor, Ichikawa Somegoro. The ticket taker correctly guessed that I would not be able to understand what the actors were saying and produced a six page English explanation, which he gave to me with my Japanese program!
Photos were not allowed in the theater, so I can't show the beautiful scenery or the costumes and make up of the actors. It was past my bed time by the time I got back home, but I was so happy that I was able to see this traditional Japanese performance!
