There are many elements in Kabuki.Plots,sets,performance,costumes and dance. I think that these elements make kabuki a great art.
I was fascinated by wonderful performance of Kikunosuke in "Komachimura-Shibai Syogatsu"at Kokuritsu Gekijyou. Actor Kikunosuke plays the character of young girl,actually she is a fox. The fox suddenly jumped out from "Suppon"."Suppon"is a holle on the stage and "Hanamichi". Characters that apper from "Suppon"are ghosts,monsters,ninjya and other imaginary characters. Kabuki has various rules. To know these rules ,I will be able to appreciate Kabuki more.
