Information

kabuki began in 1603 when Izumo no Okuni, of Izumo-taisha, began performing with a troupe of female dancers performing on a makeshift stage in the dry bed of the Kamo River in Kyoto. In the earliest forms of kabuki, all dancers were female playing both male and female parts, however, men found this form of dance sexually stimulating and often paid performers for sexual favors. Naturally, the male population of Japan for this disconcerting and banned women from the dance beginning in 1628. In protest of that draconian, backward logic this Kabuki Dancer is a woman.
The individual kanji that make up the word kabuki can be read as "sing" 歌, "dance" 舞, and "skill" 伎.
