Kagamiyama Kokyō no Nishikie
A Kabuki Masterpiece of Loyalty and Vengeance.
Step into the secret world of a samurai mansion's inner palace for this thrilling Kabuki masterpiece, famously known as the "Women's Chūshingura." Here, witness the intense rivalry between the cruel authority Iwafuji and the gentle Onoe. The shocking "Sandal Beating" humiliation drives Onoe to tragedy. Now, the stage is set for heroic retribution as the fiercely loyal maidservant Ohatsu rises to avenge her mistress!
This historic performance features the living legend ONOE Kikugorō VII, a National Treasure of the Kabuki world, alongside the rising star ONOE Kikugorō VIII (currently Kikunosuke). Their joint appearance ensures a powerful, emotionally charged display of classical Japanese theatre.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to see Kabuki royalty!
