Japan KABUKI Festival in Las Vegas 2016 - The Adventures of the Mythical Lion (Straight from Japan)NEW

Thank you very much for your continued support. We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude for your understanding and support over the years. Due to the tremendous response last year, we are pleased to announce that the Japan KABUKI Festival will be held again in May this year in Las Vegas. We have organized various events based on the theme of Japanese culture including a water fountain show as well as the first-ever kabuki performance in a Las Vegas theatre. Please find the details of the kabuki performance below.

Kabuki actor, Somegoro Ichikawa, who will play the leading part in the kabuki performance, says with enthusiasm: "Kabuki has a history of more than 400 years. It has continued to evolve to this day and maintain a presence as a form of entertainment in Japan. The theme in the forthcoming performance is 'Sugotsuya (Fantastic Shimmer)' and we will present a fantastic show of scintillating super entertainment."

Once again this year, we wish to introduce Japan and Japanese culture to the world by inviting you to watch a new kabuki masterpiece that integrates kabuki, a traditional culture that is symbolic of Japan, and the latest Japanese technology. We would appreciate it if you could take this opportunity to watch the performance.
