Please see below for details of each performance :

[ KABUKI : Traditional Japanese Theatre Performance / 1st photo ]
Kabuki is the dramatic theatre which combines music and dance. It is one of Japan’s most typical traditional arts. This performing art contains exciting stories, beautiful scenes and other features that thrill audiences. Throughout its long history spanning hundreds of years, Kabuki has incorporated trends from each successive era, and continues to be a fresh performing art.

[ BUNRAKU : Traditional Puppet Performance / 2nd photo ]
Bunraku is one of Japan's representative traditional theatre arts for adults, inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It is a closely collaborative form which synchronizes narrative recitation, shamisen music and puppetry in performance. Recitation of stories by a narrator letting out his voice with all of his might, the dynamic and delicate sound of the shamisen, and the beautiful movements of the puppets astound the audience.
Featuring this outstanding unique style, Bunraku is praised as very sophisticated puppet theatre arts in the world.

[ NIHONBUYO : Traditional Japanese Dance / 3rd photo ]
NIHONBUYO is a traditional Japanese performing art. It originated from Kabuki in the Edo period, and from the middle of the Meiji period, unique NIHONBUYO (Traditional Japanese Dance) performances were created and further developed. It is also popular as a hobby, and has been enjoyed by a wide range of people, from children to adults, regardless of gender.
