Kabuki@Shinbashi Enbujo Theater: Sept 11, 2011

I











 usually visited Kabuki-za Theater in Ginza to see Kabuki. (see July 22, 2009 article)

Today, I visited Shinbashi Enbu-jo theater as Kabuki-za is now under construction.

The theater is three-story structure and has 1428 seats. Music, dance show and other performances are played besides Kabuki in the theater.


Today’s programs included a succession ceremony of traditional Kabuki names (Nakamura Matagoro and Nakamura Kasho). Leading Kabuki actors including “living national treasure” Nakamura Kichi-emon and Sakata Tojuro attended the ceremony.
