I'm Brazilian and I'm an admirer of Japanese culture. The art of Kabuki theater is amazing. The clothes, the musical instruments, the dancing, the scenery are beautiful. It would be an incredible dream to visit Japan and personally attend a Kabuki theater performance, Taiko performance.
ありがとうございます日本 ❤🙏
Очень красиво, актеры играют великолепно 👏💐👍
Thank you very much for including the explanatory subs :D I love your chanel!
So happy Sagi Musume was on the top 3. Well deserved!
I've understood the ideas of great Kabuki play writes,but the creators of multiple dances slipped by me. Dance is so ephemeral, how is the choreography being handed down? Is it taught by one actor to another or are there notations used by dance directors as in western ballet? And has film made a huge change in Kabuki dance? If you have a Tamasaburo performance on tape,how hard could it be for future dancers to reinterpret the same piece? The fact that these actors have the versatility and strength for such long performances - they are like marathon athletes.
Very roughly, during the XIX century, a new world developed alongside kabuki, that of nihon buyō (japanese dance), around dance master who collaborated with actors to create choreographies and teach them to students, people like Fujima Kan'emon II, who trained under Ichikawa Danjūrō VII, or Hanayagi Jusuke I, famous for dances such as Renjishi, and who collaborated with Danjūrō IX and Kikugorō V to create some of the matsubamemono seen on this list. Today, the major schools of dance, such as the Fujima, Ichikawa or Hanayagi, continue to teach these dances to kabuki actors for their upcoming performances. But the actors themselves also help in preserving these works. Tamasaburō, for example, often brings young actors with him on tour, and they learn and perform some of his senior's most famous dances, so that his art is continued by the next generation.
I have a soft spot for Fuji Musume, it was the first kabuki performance I watched
Very majestic and enchanting.
Thanks for sharing
Oh yes!
I love Japan so much, ...
Wonderful ❤❤😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I tried to look for these on Mirail kabuki on demand, but they only seem to have 3 options right now. Do they cycle them in and out on that service? Are they planning to add a much larger catalog later?
Yes, the videos they add will remain available 1 year, and more should continue to be added regularly (every 2 or 3 months, perhaps?).
I enjoyed this post very much. However, what was the rationale behind the order in which you listed the dances?
In my opinion, the absence of ‘Seki no To’ is a serious omission because of its historical importance and because it is an acknowledged masterpiece. I would also have included ‘Masakado’ instead of one or two of the Kyōgen-based ‘matsubamemono’.
Finally, the category of ‘Fūzoku-buyō’ is, I think, extremely important to Kabuki dance.
Thank you Paul! The dances here are selected and ordered by number of performances in the period between 1989 and 2022, with a few alterations and omissions to make it more varied (Suō Otoshi would have been, indeed, one kyōgen-based matsubamemono too many!). The basic idea was to give the viewer a better understanding of which works they are most likely to see if they go to watch a live kabuki program. After all, statistically speaking, the average theatregoer is bound to see Kanjinchō or Yoshinoyama 4 or 5 times, before they catch a precious performance of "Seki no To" and "Masakado".
As you suggest, artistic merit and historical relevance are far more important factors, although they are also more elusive and difficult to quantify. I've been working for a while on a chronological overview of the kabuki dance repertoire, but the amount of works, themes and types is quite overwhelming, with the added complexity of the numerous revisions and revivals, which often make chronology deceptive. I'd love, by the way, to ask you a few questions on this and a few other kabuki-related topics, if you have the time.
@@KabukiInDepth Yes, I'd be delighted to answer questions if I can. It may take a while though as I'm in Yoshinoyama at present and don't have any ref. books.
Ah
My only issue with kabuki is, why keep the sexist rule of only allowing male actors? Originally, both men and women performed Kabuki, why not go back to that tradition?
Yeah, it's just tradition, originating in archaic and, as you said, sexist laws.
Luckily, there have been modern Kabuki groups that have adopted women into their plays. There has even been desire to teach foreign actors!
So yeah, while they still have plenty of ways to go, Kabuki isn't going anywhere!
@@hihi-heartyeah it’s weird because from what I know the original Kabuki practitioners were an all women dance troupe
Kabuki was started by women during the Edo period. However, Kabuki in the early Edo period was vulgar, like striptease, and the shogunate banned women's Kabuki as it was considered to be disturbing public morals. Afterwards, the young people began to perform kabuki, but they also started performing striptease shows, and were again subject to the scrutiny of the shogunate. As a result, only adult males were allowed to perform. Japan is a country that values tradition. Please don't insult Japanese tradition with the simple word "discrimination."
Im sure your mom is/was not perfect but you still love her… so just love the traditions the way they are, the same way you love your mom!
It is beginning to reintegrate women back into performances, with some with more famous actors training their daughters in Kabuki. It will take time, but it is happening.
Looks and sounds very complex and ancient. It is very interesting and definately not western.
