■About our school |
We as a school of Kabuki hope to help find that something that may be lost in modern society. I have 25 years working experience at the theatre and have introduced Kabuki for more than 100 times which comes to more than 5000 people in total. Recent changes of our lifestyles has shown convenience in some aspects whilst putting pressure on real and or meaningful interactions with one another. Kabuki has a history of 400 years and has long been loved by many and from a wide audience. Our private organisation hope that once again we find the key to get in touch with what seems to have become lost in modern day living by learning the meaning of Kabuki and the joy of Kabuki. |
■Our efforts |
We cater to the needs of educational institutions and nursing homes and will provide you with seminars and performances of Kabuki planned for each audience not only in Japan but for people around the world. |
■We are looking for affiliated schools and branch schools |
We also hope for affiliations and partnerships that has taken interest in our seminars. Please contact us for more details. |

■Greetings from the principal |
I have worked at the theatre for 25 years. I wish to introduce Kabuki to a more broader audience and to the world through seminars of the history of Kabuki and by introducing the plays. From that wish after about a year of preparation I have managed to open our first school Kabuki no Gakkou in March in the year 2014. We would like to thank everyone for showing support in our activity. |
