I attended the kabuki show for the first time at Kanamaruza in Konpira, Kagawa prefecture this April. I am a little more interested in kabuki than before. Partly for that reason ,I read Yuske Nakagawa ‘Higeki no memon Danjyuro 12 dai.’ Now Danjyuro XⅡ is actively playing. And his son Ebizo XⅠis expected to be Danjyuro XⅢ in years to come. Worse part is that EbizoXⅠ made headlines with his drinking problem last year. Nakagawa says EbizoXⅠshould be well qualified better than before. Because past Danjyuros had many behavior problems and they strived versatility overcoming their reputation of the ill-qualified. The chiso is one of herbs.
