A small mountain community's claim to fame

Obara Kabuki began as a form of devotional theater at shrines during the middle of the Edo period in the Obara area of Toyota City as a means of amusement for agricultural villagers who had limited entertainment during their labor-laden lives. Even today, this tradition lives on thanks to those from the Obara Kabuki Preservation Society. Watch these incredible performances available twice a year in May and October at The Obaraza Hall.
In commemoration of the 50th anniversary since Obara Kabuki, this year's May Performance holds a Commemoration Ceremony before the program begins.
