The Five Chivalrous Thieves EXPLAINED・Shiranami Gonin Otoko (1862)

[@williamwild2188]

Extraordinary summary and explanation of Kabuki styles and themes in this famous play. Thank you!!!

[@T4G0E]

Such a cool play, the ukiyo-e print that goes along with it is equally cool. I'm actually about to start reading Samuel Leiter's book, this video has me looking forward to it! And I love the practice of aikyo, kabuki was way ahead of its time with that sort of "fourth wall" breaking humor.

Finally, an explanation, thanks again Kabuki in depth

[@SuperGingerBickies]

I have many reasons why I have fallen in love with Kabuki and, in the process, taking in lots of things to help me understand it better - thanks to you, KiD! This video is no exception because of the convoluted, beautifully crafted twists and turns in the plays examined in these videos! Thank you again for your brilliant work and the heart and soul you put into making these videos. Please keep up the good work.
