Top 10 List: #2 Kabuki

2. kabuki.
culture tip/word of the day: Kabuki--Wikipedia says "Kabuki (歌舞伎, kabuki) is a form of traditional Japanese theatre. Kabuki theatre is known for the stylization of its drama and for the elaborate make-up worn by some of its performers. The individual kanji characters, from left to right, mean sing (歌), dance (舞), and skill (伎). Kabuki is therefore sometimes translated as "the art of singing and dancing."

During the 1st week in Tokyo, we will have a chance to experience this type of traditional theatre first hand. Until then, check out this youtube clip...
