Kabuki Cherry Blossoms, a Japanese cherry blossom show to enjoy in Kabuki, is now available!

Cherry blossoms are the symbol of spring in Japan. In the blink of an eye, the flowers were in full bloom, and just when you thought they were in full bloom, they began to scatter away, leaving no trace of their ephemerality. Japanese people have had special feelings for its beauty.

Did you know that ``cherry blossoms'' are used effectively in various productions on stage in Kabuki, a traditional Japanese performing art?

On the video distribution service ``KABUKI ON DEMAND'', you can watch all 5 Kabuki stage videos related to cherry blossoms entitled ``Kabuki Cherry Blossoms'' with English sub-audio! You can enjoy it at an affordable price in 10 countries and regions including Japan, and you can watch it as many times as you like for 7 days after purchase. It is also recommended for those who want to experience Japanese culture before traveling to Japan, or for those who want to casually enjoy it during their free time during their trip.

From this spring, a new addition to the distribution lineup is “Kyoto Kanoko Musume Nijinjoji”! You can't help but be captivated by the gorgeous stage full of cherry blossoms, performed by Tamasaburo Bando and Kikunosuke Onoe.

Please also pay attention to the costumes of the ladies, which change several times on stage! If you stream it, you can take a close look at the detailed patterns of the stage equipment and costumes.

In addition, the distribution lineup includes a variety of works that are recommended for people from overseas and those making their Kabuki debut! Please check this banner for details.
