Children Kabuki festival #2, a photo from Shiga, Kinki

Photographer's Note

Due to the favor of the staff comittee, fortnately I got the opprotunity to enter the inside of the dressing room. There were 6 small actors. They were all boys but 3 boys would play girl/lady role. Because there was a srtrict rule that female never enter the float where KABUKI would be performed accroding to the old strict local rule (I am afraid some feminist protest). So 3 boys would disguise as a gilr/lady. He was one of three. It sounded intersting to see that a naughty boy had changed a glamorous lady gradually.

Hi Takero,

Another kabuki festival, so it seems that gradually all is as it was before. Life must go on.. Superb portrait and really interesting transformation from a boy to this beautiful lady. Excellent portrait.

Warm regards

Hello
A beautiful portrait of a girl in makeup, perhaps a special on the feast of Kabuki. With us today begins a two-day Easter holidays.
Regards and Happy Easter

Hello Takera - You have captured a lovely pensive expression in this side-view portrait. Good use of DOF, the softly focuses BG compliments the colours in the boys face and headband very well. Your information reminds me of the time centuries ago when all the actors on Shakespeare's stage were men or boys. Best wishes Rosemary
