Kanjuro-sama!!!!!

It's interesting how different the stage was decorated for Tamasaburo san's version. Was this the set for a live perfomance or was it specifically made for being taped? In some ways it's very beautiful and it suits Tamasaburo's version well, but it feels slightly ostentatious compared to what Shikan used. I was moved by the way Shikan ended the dance, hiding under the robe in sorrow and shame, rather than posing more languidly. However I can't deny that Tamasaburo's skills as an Onnagata brought to life the phantom presence of Yasuna's lover. Even when he is not not wearing the Uchikake one can feel a feminine presence in the scene, and when most of his body was covered by the red Uchikakae at the end of the dance its almost as if the spirit of his lover is possessing him, and providing some comfort in his despair. A very sorrowful dance with a wide range of interpretations. I hope to see it someday.

Africancer white.

How di they keep the costumes clean or do they use easy clean fabrics like polyester or cotton? Thank you very much!!

Beautiful!

Tomu Uchida in 1964 made a film named Koi yakoi Yasuna koi. Aka The Mad Fox. It was a hidden gem❤. Okawa Hashizo was perfect in that film. So sad and haunting!🎉 Glad to see this story here.

It is one of the most beautiful and perhaps saddest dances in Kabuki. The story, movements and expressions during the dance are what make this dance unique and incredible. And that's why I have a doubt: one of the most famous actors to do this dance is Kataoka Nizaemon XV and I remember he chose Yasuna as part of his Shūmei in 1998. Do you know if there is any video about Kataoka Nizaemon XV's Shūmei?

I love Yasuna played by Hashizo Okawa II

I will watch in contemplation, my mother's husband is passing. thank you.

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Awesome performances!

Fantastical and Frightening!! ❤

右近の櫓のお七、概してよかったんだけど、人形ぶりにブレイクダンスをいれたのは余計な動きがあってよくなかった。

MY GOD the actor playing the Mountain God is out of this world

🌻🌹🍁

Do they still use onnagata ? Or real women ? Haven't found anything about it.

Please put lots of full length Kabuki Plays with a briefing and subtitles in english.

Onoe UkonII is very talented and it was a joy to learn more about his work. Thanks again for the great video!

kunitsu gami gonna make me watch kabuki now

Excellent video as always, brother, but I'll tell you the truth: I felt really sorry for Onoe Maholo when he mentioned that he felt bitter because of Renjishi. Maholo shouldn't feel this way, because as Ukon II mentioned, a few Kabuki actors also have the same situation as him (that is, not being the son of a Kabuki actor). If we look at the history of Kabuki, some of the most famous actors were not born as children of Kabuki actors, such as Bandō Tamasaburō V (whose biological parents owned a Ryōtei restaurant in Tokyo) or Kataoka Ainosuke VI (whose biological parents owned a screw factory in Sakai, a city near Osaka). So I think what Maholo should show is that what he lacks in lineage, he can make up for in talent, just like Ukon II, Tamasaburō V and Ainosuke VI, do you agree? Speaking of Ukon II, I have a doubt here: if Ukon II reaches the same level as Danjuro XIII, Ainosuke VI or Kikunosuke V, do you think he will change his name or possibly keep his current name (like the case of Tamasaburō V )?

Hi there! I always wondered what the black, fishnet like long-sleeved garment is called (here worn under the yoten) and what material it is made of. At 7:46 min. Perhaps you know the answer. Thank you very much in advance and greetings to you!

what is the main musical accompaniment used for Omatsuri is there any chance of recording of the music itself ?

Very authentic to say the least. Whoever conceptualize this, must have been very visionary.

Geisha dances are performed with more quality and delicacy by onnagata than by geishas, honestly.

I adore the idea that a bunch of actors goofing around backstage after a show turns into a treasured public dance.

My favorite part about the Omatsuri dance is when the kakegoe “Mattemashita!!” Is said And the actor responds

just saw this in Osaka

Brother, I have always loved this Kabuki tradition and my favorite dance from this tradition is Omatsuri, mainly because it combines dance and Tachimawari (fight choreography). I even remember watching one of these scenes starring Kataoka Nizaemon XV and seeing how magical and incredible it was to mix dance and fight in the same scene. By the way, I have a question here related to the Yorozuya house's Shūmei that is currently occurring: in Nakamura Hayato's future Shūmei, what is the possible name he should take in his prolific career as a Kabuki actor? Nakamura Kinnosuke III or Yorozuya Kinnosuke II?

:o i thought it was a mask at first..

Kabuki is at least 1000x times better than western operas

"Is Kabuki worth it?" ..what an idiotic question.

Koi yasuna koi. The beautiful movie made by Tomu Uchida!! I love it!!

大晦日からお正月にかけて魔法のような夢のお話。ストーリーを追うというより雰囲気に酔う、という感じですね。そして玉三郎・仁左衛門はもちろんベストカップルです

Wearing his lover's sleeve

It is my dream to play Umeō-maru in Sugawara Denju Tenarai Kagami ... wish me luck!!!

КАБУКИ больше всего люблю. Неиссякаемый источник вдохновения.

И музыка, и пластика, и изобразительное искусство.

Несравненная красота!

Фантастическая красота!

Amazing

Kabuki is relevant in our current time.

Kathakali from India shares similarity with Kabuki. Kathakali is the performance of Hindu legends and mythics. And I love both!

One of my favourite stage designs. I love how it contributes to immersion, but also allows the gorgeous costumes to be appreciated even better!

This was a very informative video: many thanks! Are/were there hakama that were more skirt-like instead of being giant trousers? I may have seen them in martial arts or Buddhist temples. I know sumo wrestlers and others wear kamishimo while participating in the bean-throwing festival at the new year; sometimes bright pink ones!

Let the women ACT!! For crying out loud, don't you think they know?

Thank you! I love learning about the costumes. They are such an important part of the whole art of Kabuki.

I want that dude as a FromSoftware boss

I could have watched this for an hour, how wonderful! And I applaud the use of the arrows, there is no confusion and learning is much easier..please continue with these terrific videos! Thank you…from Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, USA…

Fabulous!

Very interesting. I figured they were exaggerated at least a little, but learning that some of the pieces worn are _purely_ fantasy was surprising.
