 歌舞伎２ |
[Kabuki] |
|
 |
The origin of the word
Kabuki is "Kabuku" (incline), which has
the additional connotation of strange actions, styles,
etc. When it originated, kabuki was popular among
common people, since kobuki directly and boldly
expressed their dreams and emotions.
| Kumadori: Make-up is applied with
grease paint, following the muscles of the
face. |
 |
| |
Red makeup is used for heroes, and black
for villains. |
Kabuki as performed in modern times was refined
during the 18th and 19th centuries. Before that
period, kabuki involved simple erotic dances, acrobatics
and short plays, but it was raised to the status
of a serious theatrical art by the writer Chikamatsu
Monzaemon(1653-1724) and the actor Ichikawa Danjuro.
Kabuki has its own special movements and acting
conventions. The words describing these have extended
their meanings and are used as part of everyday
conversation.
