Kabuki Theatre

Kabuki is a traditional form of Japanese theatre which began in the Endo period. The Kabuki plays are usually about moral conflicts in love or historical events. The actors in the Kabuki plays use old fashioned language that's hard for even the Japanese people to understand. The characters use lifeless voices and are accompanied by traditional Japanese instruments. In the beginning. of the Endo period men and women both acted in the Kabuki plays but later in the Endo period the women weren't allowed to perform and that law still remains to today.
