KABUKI
While the samurai warriors preferred the refined Nō theatre, the townspeople of feudal Japan (1603-1868)
loved Kabuki and it has continued to thrill audiences with its unique blend of stylised acting, dance and music.
The three characters which make up the word are ka which means “song”, bu which means dance and ki which
means acting skill.

“The Mirror Lion” is one of the most famous Kabuki dances:
