Kaomise Kabuki Performance(顔見世興行) at Minami-za theater(南座)


Kaomise Kabuki Performance(顔見世興行) has been taking place at Minami-za theater(南座) by  today.
Kabuki(歌舞伎) is a popular traditional stage drama in Japan performed exclusively by men   along with songs and music.
Kaomise is literally the "Face-showing" ceremony of a theater to celebrate the opening a new season and its new troupe during the Edo Period.
It brings together the top Kabuki stars to perform some popular titles.
It's the most famous Kabuki performance.

Actually one of our staff is going there today.
She is a big fan of Kabuki. She goes to see it every year.
She said she has a one particular favorite performer and he is playing today.
I hope she will enjoy today's performance. and i look forward to listening about it from her.

If you are interested in Kabuki, please ask our staff.
She will keep on talking when you ask about it.
