Costumes for five main cast members for the upcoming Lupin III themed Kabuki stage play have been revealed - and my word, they are all looking the part!

The play, which is due to open in Japan this coming December (2023), has all-male actors for the main five (a Kabuki tradition), featuring:

Lupin III: 片岡 愛之助 (Ainosuke Kataoka)

Goemon XIII: 尾上 松也 (Matsuya Onoe)

Jigen Daisuke: 市川 笑三郎 (Saburō Ichikawa)

Fujiko Mine: 市川 笑也 (Emiya Ichikawa)

Inspector Zenigata: 市川 中車 (Chūsha Ichikawa)

The photos, which were first shared by website Natalie on Tuesday morning, show some superb shots of the gang. They all look gorgeous. Personally, I think the team behind the play have done an incredible job at incorporating modern Edo Kabuki influence in their costumes, while still resembling the main cast of the show. The level of detail is impressive - from Goemon’s Part 2 outfit colours to Zenigata’s bold, notable eyelashes.

If you are able to catch this while it runs in Japan, you will no doubt be in for a treat. Tickets are already on sale, so act quickly if you wish to secure yourself a seat!

"My character's name, Fuji(藤) means wisteria in Japanese. You might imagine Mt.Fuji(富士), but the character is different! Her name means the flower one. I really like her name. So Carlos(@thecarlosrosario) chose the kimonos and the cloth with wisteria patterns of pale blue and purple tone. And my hair accessories like ribbons are basically purple too." Moeka Hoshi

In Japan, Wisteria symbolizes youth, love, and perseverance, and represents the transience of life. Interestingly, there is a kabuki dance called "Fuji Musume" aka Wisteria Maiden where the heroine carries wisteria to symbolize the sentiments of love.

It perfectly reflect her character and her love for her family and house that she's willing to protect at all cost. The costume designer and production team really outdone themselves with their attention to detail to every single character on set!

Its #BatAppreciationDay so please appreciate this awesome 19th century Japanese kosode decorated with embroidered lucky bats, photographed in 2019 at The Life of Animals in Japanese Art exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in DC:

Kosode with Bats Japan, Edo - Meiji periods, 19th century silk twill, paste-resist dyed, embroidery, 67⅜ × 48⅞ in. National Museum of Japanese History, Chiba Prefecture

“In the West, bats - nocturnal in habit and denizens of dark places tend to be viewed as unlucky, but in China they have long been considered an auspicious motif (one of the characters used to write the word "bat" is a homonym for good fortune). The Kabuki actor Ichikawa Danjüro VII (1791-1859) used bat motifs in his costumes, and the perception of these animals as a chic design element spread rapidly throughout Japan in the nineteenth century. Here a great number of them are arranged in right-left symmetry from the base of the collar to the hem.”

The above info is from the official exhibition catalog - this bat kosode is on p. 124:
