Enpaku’s Treasure Box of Kabuki and Bunraku
64 pages / Colour / Japanese and English

We would like more people to increase an interest in traditional Japanese theatres, ‘kabuki’ and ‘bunraku’, so we have launched the special exhibition, 'Enpaku’s Treasure Box of Kabuki and Bunraku', and have published the pictorial record book with the same name. This book illustrates the histories of kabuki and bunraku theatres and their various aspects in simpler terms. Also, as we would like people from other countries to familiarise themselves with these traditional performing arts, we prepared the book in both Japanese and English. We wish this book will help you engage with the worlds of ‘kabuki’ and ‘bunraku’.
