Namanari, Hannya and Ja, three stages of spirit possession, usually because of grief or jealousy, as depicted in Noh theatre.

Demon Pond (夜叉ヶ池), directed by Masahiro Shinoda (1979)

Kabuki camp! Yokai cosplay! Somehow this film struck a satisfying balance between riotous fun and lovelorn melancholy. I knew I was in for a wild ride when, in the beginning of the film, a village woman tries to cleanse the dust lodged in the traveler’s eye with breast milk squirted straight from her teat.

There were scenes that seemed directly culled from my dreams… the wall of water, the threatened village, the tinkle becoming glissandi in the Harp Playing Valley. It must be a primordial structure of the human psyche—that uncanny feeling you get looking at a body of water, when it appears somehow volitional, perhaps ominously so. It is dreaming. It is sentient. It is a prison… Who is held captive to these waters? A princess in love, ready to unleash her fury.

File under oneiric cinema.

🇯🇵Elliott's Japan Kabuki Trivia Corner🇯🇵

I have just found an entire Youtube channel about kabuki and I am now going to inflict this knowledge upon your dash.

Audience shouting has always been a big part of popular theatre, or at least it was in the Middle Ages/Renaissance (think Shakespeare and the Globe). Kabuki is no exception. Except this is Japan we're talking about, where everything from the past gets crystalized into a highly codified art form.

...and now you have whole-ass historical preservation associations dedicated to shouting the right things at the right time during kabuki plays.

These shouts traditionally come from the back of the highest seats, an area called "the great beyond", and are thus known as "Shouts From The Great Beyond".

These shouts include:

An actor's name, because you're soooo happy to see him

An actor's acting house or generation number, in case the actor is having an identity crisis

A nickname based on their town or neighborhood of origin, which proves kabuki fans and football supporters have a lot in common. Imagine going to a theatre play, and some people in the back start shouting "MANCHESTER UNITED FUCK YEAH!!!"

Expressing your looking forward to a certain part, like, you're watching Hamlet, the actor shows up on stage with the skull, and several people start shouting "HELL YEAH THAT'S MY FAVOURITE BIT!"

And of course,

Anyway, I fucking love Japan so much ❤

May 1st 1932 Tokyo, Japan: Charlie Chaplin (bow tie) and brother Sydney are entertained by Nakamura Kichiemon, famous Kabuki Theatre actor, during their visit to the Japanese Capitol.

March 6th 1936 Tokyo, Japan: Charlie Chaplin and Paulette Goddard took in a performance at a Kabuki Theatre.

Charles Chaplin Jr. (1925-1968) wrote in his book published in 1960 "My Father, Charlie Chaplin" page 72 regarding Japanese people:

“They understand and love his pantomime, which has so much in common with the tradition of their own Kabuki theater. My father, for his part, fell in love with Kabuki style of acting, with its stress on pantomime, from the first time he saw a Japanese troupe performing in this (U.S.) country.”

"Haru" (The Spring)

A lady in lavender colored kimono with flowering plum motif. She is a bit annoyed by a flattering butterfly.

Kiyomitsu is the 9th headmaster of the renowned Torii school of Kabuki-e pictures. She was a daughter of Torii Kotondo and became the first woman headmaster of traditional kabuki-e schools in 1982. Her works were recognized also by the Japanese government, which presented her "Oujihosho" (A type of Japanese medal of honor) in 2005.
