    KABUKI
    Traditional form of popular theater which began at the end of
    the 16th century and soon became the most successful
    theater entertainment in the red light districts of the great
    cities. Together with Nōh, it is considered the most important
    Japanese contribution to World Theater.
    Both Nōh and kabuki are unique and genuine expressions of
    the Japanese spirit and culture. They mirror, however, taste
    and ideals of different social classes, in profoundly different
    environments and epochs.
    The word is written with three
    characters:
    KA - sing
    BU - dance
    KI - skill
