I wish there was like... A magazine or mailing list for keeping up with actors and events. I can't attend, but I am still interested. It would be cool.
Can you put on the Japanese subtitle alongside with English subtitle? It will be much more readable!
Recently I've read In praise of Shadows by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki. I was impressed about the section of the book that discusses traditional lighting in a kabuki play, without electrical lights. Reading this makes me want to ask if you if theres anywhere I can watch a video with this traditional lighting scheme? Thank you.
I liked your video ❤

Brother, this tribute to Ichikawa Sadanji IV is very deserved, mainly due to his contribution to kabuki theater and his legacy as one of the best Tachiyaku of the Showa and Heisei eras. Speaking of Sadanji IV, I have a serious doubt here: is it true that the first Kabuki actor to use the current version of the nirami mie was not Ichikawa Danjūrō XI (grandfather of Ichikawa Danjūrō XIII), but rather Ichikawa Sadanji III (father of Sadanji IV)?

As far as I remember, it is unknown when the nirami ceremony started exactly, but it was definitely commonplace during kaomise performances of the XIX century involving Danjūrō actors (most likely XVIII century as well, but I'd have to double check that). After Danjūrō IX's death, the ceremony was discontinued by obvious reasons, and it is true that Ichikawa Sadanji III revived the tradition for his 1952 shūmei.

@@KabukiInDepth By the way, sorry for the spelling mistake about nirami mie, it's just that the spell checker on my cell phone messed me up. I'm sorry ok? Another question here is: even though Sadanji IV was close to the Danjuro family, why did he never do the nirami mie in life (even though his father, Sadanji III did it)? Because I wonder what permission he might have had, but what happened?

Well, Sadanji I and his son were great tachiyaku actors, and therefore Sadanji III was in a privileged position for his name-taking ceremony, with no Danjūrō around at the time. But Sadanji III was a supporting actor, so Sadanji IV's shūmei was more modest, and by this time, the nirami no mie must have been considered a tradition of the new Danjūrō family.
