Japanese Culuture

Japanese Culture

I researched “Kabuki”. It is written “歌舞伎” in Japanese. Do you know “Kabuki”? Kabuki is a drama, and it is the one of traditional entertainments in Japan. “ka”(歌) means songs, “bu”(舞) means dances, and “ki”(伎) means skills. It is performed in front of large audience. Kabuki is not famous these days.
It has tradition over 400 years. Kabuki started in 1603. Kabuki spread in the last years of Sengoku Age to Edo Age. Females first performed in front of audience, but it was not good for females to corrupt morals. Then what females perform was prohibited in 1692, so only males performed from then. Males play male parts and female parts today’s Kabuki.
I have never seen to Kabuki, and I don’t know much. However I was interested in Kabuki, and I want to see it someday. If you are interested in Kabuki, let’s go to see Kabuki.

How To Get To There?

☆My Speeches

This festival is held in Toyota city in Aichi Prefecture, so I’m going to talk about how to get to there. You can go different ways.

At first, I’m going to explain how to get there by car. If you come from Kansai (west) area, you take Toumei superhighway at the Nagoya IC and you get off Rikiishi IC in last stop. So you leave for Iida direction on National high way 153. If you come from Kanto (east) area, you take Toumei superhighway at Toyota JTC, get off Toyota Matsudaira IC and it takes for 15 minutes for you to arrive there.

Next, I’m going to explain how to get by bus, train and taxi. You leave for Asuke by bus from east Okazaki station or Sanage station in Meitetsu line. If you take a train, you leave for Toyota station by Tsurumai line in a subway. If you take a taxi, you leave for Kourannkei from Sanage station.
