In this hands-on cultural experience, you’ll transform into a Kabuki performer. Start with a full Kabuki makeup session (Kumadori style), then wear a traditional wig and colorful costume. With guidance from a local Kabuki master, you’ll rehearse a short mini-drama scene and then perform it on the real Kabuki stage used for actual performances. After the show, enjoy a photo session in costume and create your own “Oshikuma” (face imprint) — a unique keepsake made from your painted Kabuki makeup.
