Summary

日本語: 1935年3月五代目尾上菊五郎33回忌追善興行における『水天宮利生深川』、坂東亀之助の妹お霜、丑之助改メ尾上菊之助の娘お雪
English: Onoe Kikunosuke III (Onoe Baiko VII) as Oyuki in Suitengu Megumi no Fukagawa.

Kabuki is a form of traditional Japanese theater. Kabuki theater is known for the stylization of its drama and for the elaborate make-up worn by its performers. A rich blend of music, dance, mime, and spectacular staging and costuming, it has been the chief theatrical form in Japan for almost four centuries. The term kabuki originally suggested the unorthodox character of this art form. The individual kanji characters, from left to right, are ka, meaning “sing” (歌); bu, signifying “dance” (舞); and ki, meaning “skill” (伎). Kabuki is therefore sometimes translated as "the art of singing and dancing."
