Imabari City is located in the center of the Seto Inland Sea, known for its beautiful landscape of many islands. Since ancient times, this area has been a key point of maritime traffic connecting the east and west of the Seto Inland Sea, and in the Middle Ages, Japan's largest pirates, the Murakami Kaizoku, were active here. In the early modern period, in order to control maritime traffic on the Seto Inland Sea, Todo Takatora, a master of Japanese castle construction, built Imabari Castle, which can be said to be the culmination of sea castles.
This performance will be held on a special stage with the magnificent illuminated castle tower of Imabari Castle, known as the strongest castle in Japan, as its backdrop. Ichikawa Danjuro, a famous actor representing Kabuki, a fusion of traditional Japanese music, dance and dance, which is registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, will give a special performance of Renjishi, a masterpiece representative of Kabuki dance. (English audio guide included).
Additionally, during the performance, theater guides dressed in traditional Japanese attire will serve limited-edition kabuki bento boxes made with seafood from the Seto Inland Sea, providing traditional Japanese hospitality along with the magnificent stage.
