1985. Ginza Kabuki Theatre. Tokyo.

The vivid orange, green, and black stripes running vertically from floor to ceiling.

Like a great big kimono, waiting to open up and reveal the secrets of kabuki to you.

The low murmur of the audience is silenced by the sharp cracks of wooden clappers. The show is about to begin.

The beat of the drums and the plucking of the shamisen, slowly picking up speed into a expansive roar with the applause, while the curtain remains placid. 

Then the swell of energy is split. 

The curtain is quickly drawn back, transporting you back to the age where honor meant something and justice was delivered with a katana.
