Overview

Experience the groundbreaking fusion of modern gaming culture and traditional Japanese performing arts with the Cinema Kabuki screening of “Touken Ranbu: Tsukitoken Enkiri.” This production marks the first-ever kabuki adaptation of the hit franchise “Touken Ranbu.” Originally staged at the Shinbashi Enbujo Theater in 2023, this new kabuki play garnered immense praise for its innovative direction that respects classical traditions while introducing fresh elements. The performance features stunning scenes using Gidayu (narrative music) and a captivating score dominated by the elegant sounds of the koto.

Cinema Kabuki utilizes high-performance cameras and sophisticated sound recording to capture the intricate movements and vibrant costumes of the actors, providing a “best seat in the house” experience on the big screen. This special event at the Edogawa Cultural Center is uniquely enhanced by a live talk show featuring Matsuya Onoe, the production’s director and lead star. He will share personal insights into the challenges of adapting such a beloved modern property into the world of Kabuki and discuss the enduring appeal of this traditional art form.
