Kyoto style Kabuki experience

I got a chance to go see a traditional kabuki performance with Trang, my Vietnamese friend the other day. I thought I might have fallen asleep judging from what I heard a Kabuki is like, but it turned out to be magnificantly fabulous. One great expereience here!

Kabuki performance by 'Kamogawa Odori', a traditional Kyoto style by geisha. This one was the story of 'Monogusa Soushi' (lazy man).


beautiful dress, but probably hard to move, huh?


kabuki live music


The performance came in 2 acts. The 2nd Act was a set of traditional dances under the theme of 'Enjoying Kyoto Spring'

Thanks Trang for inviting me along!! ;-)
(Performance was held at PontoCho Kabuki theater - 05/23/05)
