About this event
In Takayacho Shiraichi, where kabuki has been staged since the Edo period, the traditional Shiraichi Kabuki will be performed. Once presented at Choeiza, one of only three playhouses in the Hiroshima Domain, this kabuki tradition was revived by local resident volunteers. It is a theatrical performance that first-time viewers and children can easily enjoy; the "sewamono" (domestic plays depicting the lives of common Edo townspeople) in particular feature clear dialogue and an easy-to-follow storyline. The stage costumes and props handed down across generations in the local area are also key highlights. Admission is free, and food trucks will be on-site on the day. Please come and experience Shiraichi Kabuki, where local history and passion remain vibrantly alive.
