The Miraculous Cutting of the Stone EXPLAINED・Ishikiri Kajiwara (1730)

This time we focus on the historical drama Ishikiri Kajiwara ("Kajiwara and the Cutting of the Stone"), from the 1730 play Miura no Ōsuke Ōbai Tazuna, first staged on the bunraku puppet theatre.
You can read an english translation of this play in the book "Kabuki Plays on Stage Vol 1: Brilliance and Bravado", and find more information in kabuki21: www.kabuki21.c...

I hope you are enjoying this new format! Any play you would like to see covered in the near future?

I love kabuki but For beginners unaware about kabuki fuin giri would be good since it's a great play and
Important dojoji is also important and with all the parodies it has a great chance of being entertaining
For a newer fan of course the basics are most important for this series so kabuki fans can be knowledgeable in common plays but of course odd plays are also great and highly enjoyable

I love the new format…it’s so thoughtful of you to touch upon different ‘kata’ at the end.
I’d request to cover 2 of my favourites, SAKURAHIME and NARUKAMI.

This is actually one of my favourite Kabuki plays, I'm not surprised it's so popular. Lots of love from Britain 🇬🇧 ❤

[@kagamisan9952]

I love this one also the sake puns are good

I’ve never been as entertained as since I discovered your great Chanel. Thank you so much for your work.

I kindly ask for uploading Nakamura Baishi performing "Ashiya Dōman Ōuchi Kagami ". Best regards from Argentina.

Is it just me, or are most (not all) of the best plays in the kabuki repertoire stolen from the bunraku puppet theatre?
