Having been fortunate enough to get a ticket to an upcoming double-bill performance by Tamasaburo-san at the Minamiza next week, I felt the urge to throw together a complication video using many of the recorded performances of his that I've seen. This video features mostly dance-dramas and solo dance performances, rather than some of his more theatrical work, and there are many clips from "Sagi Musume" which many consider to be his signature piece. (That, and it's also arguably the most beautifully filmed performance of his available! ^_^) For those of you who've never seen kabuki, enjoy some elements of its shockingly beautiful uniqueness. For those who have, please enjoy a tribute to one of the greatest onnagata in history.
