Kabuki is not Kabuki?

140917kabuki

It is presented as Kabuki and it is known as Kabuki in Japan which is one of the Japanese traditional arts. Kabuki is a kind of new style play developed from Noh.

Actually, Kabuki was not an official name. Originally, this popular name came from “Kabukimono” which means a person with loud dressing, strange style, or something abnormal.

Kabuki actors are exactly just like popular name on stage such as their clothes and painting. Kabuki started in Kyoto, around Kamo River and Sijo Street. It is able to find the oldest kabuki theater in there.

In the article, I repeated many times Kabuki however, the original name is “Kyogen”. But Kabuki is Kabuki, now.
