Kabuki plays are about historical events, moral conflicts in love relationships and the like.
but it's not the normal show,it's the minute of dead , the assasination in "kabuki" show ,
the audience will enjoy the spectacularity of the performance,the wonderful costume,dramatic story,
but dont't know that the assasination is real!
I try to represent the beauty of hundread-years old history performance,with the spectacularity event
behind it !
