Tokyo, JAPAN - Kabuki Theater - Ernie Pyle Theater - MULTIVIEW - Takarazuka

Description: Tokyo, JAPAN - Kabuki Theater - Ernie Pyle Theater - MULTIVIEW - Takarazuka: Kabuki (歌舞伎, かぶき) is a classical form of Japanese dance-drama. Kabuki theatre is known for its heavily-stylized performances, the often-glamorous costumes worn by performers, and for the elaborate kumadori make-up worn by some of its performers. Kabuki is thought to have originated in the very early Edo period, when founder Izumo no Okuni formed a female dance troupe who performed dances and light sketches in Kyoto. The art form later developed into its present all-male theatrical form after women were banned from performing in kabuki theatre in 1629. Kabuki developed throughout the late 17th century and reached its zenith in the mid-18th century.Ernie Pyle Theater: For those planning the occupation, American-style entertainment was a necessary supplement to the basic needs of food and shelter. The requisitioned Tokyo Takarazuka Revue building became the central entertainment venue for the Allied Powers, not only in Tokyo, but throughout Asia. Founded in 1934, it was the first world-class theatre in Asia, including two live performance theatres, a film screening room, a library, five restaurants, rehearsal rooms, offices for the theatre’s staff, and a billiards room. It was renamed the Ernie Pyle Theatre in honor of a Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist fallen in Okinawa and was hailed as the “Radio City Music Hall of the East.” The Ernie Pyle’s facilities were open to occupation personnel and their families exclusively, and Japanese citizens were barred from entry. Nonetheless, just as happened in other spaces, a number of them gained access as service providers, artists, and theatre professionals. Mr. Michio Itō who trained in modern dance in London and New York, was the Ernie Pyle’s director, producer and choreographer. His shows offered a new image of Japan as a land of rich cultural traditions, modern sophistication, and exotic allure, based on his knowledge of GI expectations and American production practices. Under Itō’s direction, many Japanese amateurs became professional performers and artists and later introduced new dance, music, and design techniques to the Japanese public. The Takarazuka Revue (Japanese: 宝塚歌劇団, is a Japanese all-female musical theatre troupe where women play all roles in lavish, Broadway-style productions of Western-style musicals and stories adapted from films, novels, shōjo manga, and Japanese folktales. The Takarazuka Revue Company is a division of the Hankyu Railway company; all members of the troupe are employed by Hankyu. This Photochromatic postcard is in good condition. Fuhuda Card.
