An introduction to traditional forms of dramatic entertainment can be found at a site maintained by the city of Kanazawa ; beyond the basic overview provided, the site also explores several theatrical forms in greater detail. Angela Tse's essay on " Performing Arts of Japan " is another good place to start your exploration. Japan's dramatic tradition extends back in time to the earliest forms of dance and worship performed at court or in the presence of local Shinto deities. Gagaku , an aristocratic dance form originally imported from neighboring China, is still preserved in Japan today, its elaborate costumes, stately choreography and stylized gestures clear antecedents for many later theatrical forms. Many sites specialize in one of the three most common forms of traditional theater Noh, Bunraku or Kabuki.

Extractions: Web Japan Kids Web Japan Explore Japan Japan has absorbed many ideas from other countries over the course of its history, including technology, customs, and forms of cultural expression, and has developed its unique culture while integrating these imports. The Japanese lifestyle today is a rich blend of Asian-influenced traditional culture and Western-influenced modern culture. TRADITIONAL CULTURE Traditional performing arts that continue to thrive in Japan today include kabuki, noh, kyogen, and bunraku. Kabuki is a form of classical theater that evolved in the early seventeenth century. It is characterized by the rhythm of the lines spoken by the actors, extravagant costumes, flamboyant makeup ( kumadori ), and the use of mechanical devices to achieve special effects on stage. The makeup accentuates the personalities and moods of the characters. Most plays draw on medieval or Edo period themes, and all the actors, even those playing female roles, are men.
