This paper, ‘A Study on Modernization aspects of Japanese traditional theatre Kabuki’, focusing on how Japanese traditional arts are privileged to the public as successful performances, In particular, I tried to look at the aspects of traditional arts that have been modernized through how the cultural policy of the nation acted from the viewpoint of art sociology.
First, I would like to review the reasons why Kabuki can be a bridge of cultural exchange and the participation of the government through the comparison of past and present about Kabuki performing arts abroad and cultural policy. As a result of studying the impacts of these publications, articles, related technicians, reports on overseas performances, classification and analysis of peaks and their effects on their performances, Shochiku, government, private organizations and corporations involved They also played a role of culture as a political tool.
Next, I tried to review the performances of ‘Kabuki-za’, ‘Theater Cocoon’, and ‘Heisei Nakamura-za’ performed by Shochiku, a traditional theater space. ‘Kabuki-za’ is a representative Kabuki-style theater operated by Shochiku performing traditional Kabuki performances throughout the year. ‘Theater Cocoon’ is a theater that plays classic Kabuki with a new production ‘Cocoon Kabuki’ as a device to overturn Kabuki's stage style. Kankuro has been performing 'Tokaido yotsuya kaidan' and 'Natsumatsuri naniwa kagami' once or twice a year. It was noteworthy that the audience was not a general Kabuki fan but a younger generation who was theater visitor. 'Heisei Nakamura-za' is a hypothetical theater that reproduces the atmosphere of the Edo era small theater ‘Nakamura-za’. I looked at the reality of these theater spaces, which seemed to be experimental approaches while keeping tradition.
Then, I examined various aspects of popularization strategy through flexible diversification of Super Kabuki and Cinema Kabuki. 'Super Kabuki' is a modern Kabuki with a spectacular production that differs from the traditional Kabuki, and Ⅲ Ichikawa Ennosuke it first started in 1986. The first work is 'Yamato takeru' in 2014 it is called 'Super Kabuki Second II' have been made around Ⅳ Ennosuke. In 2015, a Super Kabuki second 'ONE PIECE' was performed in collaboration with popular manga 'ONE PIECE' and traditional arts Kabuki, and more than 100,000 people were mobilized. This was evaluated as a new breakthrough, and examined the implications of the encounter between the tradition and the modern by examining the background of support from a wide range of generations. ‘Yamato takeru’ transformed into a text rich in theatricality, both daily and popular, through a novel idea, and examined how the original work could be reinterpreted and popularized. In addition, the ‘Cinema Kabuki’ is released 23 works from 2005 to February 2016 for a Kabuki theater performances in the video work move on the screen. It is a new cultural content that is produced by Shochiku and released as a route different from the movie. Thus, collect data about the performance of these realities and meanings produced by intentionally popular part of the Kabuki tradition, it sought to analyze.
Lastly, the issue of establishing a by analyzing the modern aspects of Japanese traditional arts, Kabuki how the Kabuki own expressions, and succeeded in reproducing the historical tradition in some form came succeeded to express to the current audience, the traditional culture of creative principles and the proper It can be said that it became a moment to point out.
