Kabuki: The people's dramatic art - Amanda Mattes

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

The Japanese dance and theater art of kabuki, derived from the word kabuku, meaning out of the ordinary, can be traced back to the streets of seventeenth-century Kyoto. Kabuki became a dramatic art for the common people, with its use of makeup and facial expressions rather than masks, as well as a playful take on current events. Amanda Mattes tracks the evolution of kabuki and its place in Japan's rich cultural heritage. Lesson by Amanda Mattes

Someone clearly boarded a Dutch or Portuguese ship in the 1600s, saw an opera in Europe and then their account caused people back home to decide they needed to make their own version of that, so they did.

For Naruto fans, Kankuro's character was heavily inspired on Kabuki, from his makeup to the puppet Jutsu inspired by bunraku!
