The Kabuki-za was originally opened by a Meiji era journalist, Fukuchi Gen'ichirō. Fukuchi wrote kabuki dramas in which Ichikawa Danjūrō IX and others starred; upon Danjūrō's death in 1903, Fukuchi retired from the management of the theatre. The theatre was then taken over by the Shochiku Corporation in 1914; the theatre is exclusively run by the company since.
Kabuki (歌舞伎 kabuki) is a classical Japanese dance-drama. Kabuki theatre is known for the stylization of its drama and for the elaborate make-up worn by some of its performers.
The individual kanji characters, from left to right, mean sing (歌), dance (舞), and skill (伎). Kabuki is therefore sometimes translated as "the art of singing and dancing".

What a special feeling to sit in an open truck, about 3 meters from the king of the animals !!!?
Just to sit there in complete silence and feel the absolute anticipation and tension of this very special moment for a few minutes !! What a priviledge !!
Took this on an evening game drive near Pretoriuskop in the Krugerpark
He is so beautiful, so confident, so impressive. He is a leopard as a leopard should be; wild and free. He hunts for his food and gets hunted by his blood enemies. He is not a pampered pet; he is a ferocious dangerous wild cat. His life is one of many dangers, if he makes a mistake, he may have to pay for it with death. If he gets injured, he cannot hunt and will die. If he crosses the wrong path, he may have to fight for his life. He is father to many cubs and dominant male to many females.
But to me he is just the most stunningly beautiful creature on earth... The "Bicycle Crossing Male" Leopard of Mala Mala.
Now this might not be the best picture of him but to me it represents one of the dearest shots I took during my stay in SA.
This picture was shot on one of the most exciting days of my entire stay in Mala Mala. If you want you can read what else happened what made it such a wonderful day in the Wildlife Diary.
Driving eastbound I-70/US-24/US-40 between the K-7 and 110th Street interchanges (Exits 224 and 410, respectively - using different mileages, with the first using the Kansas Turnpike and the second using I-70), driving underneath a KC Scout message sign (showing estimated times for reaching I-635 and I-670) at night.

"I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead, uh, huh
Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
What in this world
Keep us from tearing apart
No matter where I go I hear
The beating of your heart
I think about you
When the night is cold and dark
No one can move me
The way that you do
Nothing erases the feeling between me and you
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
I drove all night... to hold you tight"

This was a little experiment of mine. I tried to make a shot from the back seat of the car... Don't know how to make the camera be more still, specially when the road is bumpy :o)
Well, I'll try again, and maybe I get a better one ;o)
I drove all night to get to you ;o)

On a night drive in Zambia, our guide shined a spotlight into the surrounding bush to find some of the more elusive night animals. The guides could tell what the animal was by the "eyeshine" alone, the unique reflective pattern from the eyes of each species. The eyeshine in this case told him it was a leopard, and so we stopped the vehicle and watched as this beautiful cat emerged from the darkness on the hunt, walked near us and then continued on his way. Animal sightings can be unpredictable, and this was to be our only leopard sightng of the trip.
Taken at 240mm, ISO 6400 and 1/15 sec in very dim light.
This solitary nocturnal species is the largest of the mongoose family, reaching up to 1.18m nose to tail. Observed in thicketed savannah woodland on a night drive from Tarangire Safari Lodge.
Tarangire National Park, Manyara, Tanzania, East Africa.
Had to travel the Decarie Expressway tonight. Great to be able to stick your camera out the top of your car.
I guess that means I wasn't able to id this guy.... huntsman? wolf? or the badasshairyscary spider of the Sabah rainforest. Found on a night drive at Tabin Wildlife Resort, Sabah, Malaysia. Island of Borneo
Observed in thicketed savannah woodland on a night drive from Tarangire Safari Lodge. This species is hard to separate from the Cape Hare (Lepus capensis), a species that tends to be found in much more open habitats.
Tarangire National Park, Manyara, Tanzania, East Africa.
