Every culture has those aspects related to the fantastic legends and myths!
They have always been the focal points and the most interesting of my travels… but I have not ever had the good fortune to observe from behind the scenes, the preparations, rehearsals, the makeup and costumes!
Now I can only browse when the orchestra or my children will “warm up” before playing their instruments….
:-) Is always exciting, but no special makeup, no tribal costumes…
Thank you for Joshi for showing us everything!

Is there any historical.cultural links between kabuki and noh and Indian dramas? The face makeup seems so similar.
