NHK Software and Shochiku present :

A new series of Kabuki Plays first broadcast on
NHK, Japan's Public Broadcasting Company.
All filmed at Tokyo's famed Kabuki-za Theatre.
All DVDs with optional English Translation and Commentary.

Since the earliest days of television in Japan, NHK has recorded and broadcast all major Kabuki performances. Now many of these important historical and contemporary video recordings are available on DVD.

Many of the most widely admired Kabuki stars, several declared Living National Treasures of Japan, are included in this 33 Volume selection of Kabuki masterworks.

An excellent and discrete English translation and commentary by Kabuki scholars Paul M. Griffith, Ronald Cavaye and Valerie Durham follows the stories and provides additional information to help international audiences appreciation of Kabuki performance, history, music and dance. This commentary is optional and can be activated as desired. Some DVDs also contain English subtitles.

The great Kabuki actors presented here have performed abroad; here's what the international critics have said:

“…Kanjincho…is a masterpiece….strange to our eyes and ears, but nevertheless, the quintessence of theatre.” New York Times
