For centuries the name Ichikawa Danjuro has carried special meaning in Kabuki theater. The Ichikawa family has been instrumental, since the Edo period, in developing the famous aragoto style of performance with its powerful movements, dramatic makeup and heroic characters. To be given the stage name Danjuro is one of the highest honors in Kabuki and is a symbol of supreme skill and a lifelong devotion to the tradition of Japanese theater.
The documentary Succession of Names takes the audience behind the scenes of the official Shūmei (succession ceremony) of the 13th Ichikawa Danjuro Hakuen. It is not just a name-changing ceremony. A Shūmei is a highly respected cultural tradition where an actor formally inherits the artistic legacy and duties of previous generations before his peers and the public.
The film follows the extraordinary journey to this historic ceremony, from the rehearsals and the emotion to the unforgettable stage performances that mark the succession. Audiences also get to see firsthand the actor’s training, personal reflections, and ceremonial traditions that continue to keep classical Japanese theater alive today.
For anyone interested in Japanese performing arts and cultural heritage, Succession of Names screening tickets offer the chance to experience this remarkable documentary in the intimate setting of Tokyo’s historic Mitsukoshi Theatre. Watching the film in this iconic venue adds another layer of authenticity to an unforgettable cultural experience.
