Kabuki in Tokyo

July 22, 2006 (Saturday)

I am seated along the hanamichi. On the other side are six geisha lined up like China dolls in a toy store. Their hair is up in a large bun, very round on the side like a proper brioche.

On stage there are cherry blossoms falling down from the sky. There are butterflies flittering around on sticks. The gorgeous Ichikawa Ebizo comes out wearing a falcon kimono and he drips with sex appeal. There are fireflies that fly around on stage as well. The beauty of kabuki is not only in the actors but in the whole stage and setting.

Later for the lion dance you can see the energy that is bound within Ichikawa Ebizo.
