< Grade 6 Lesson
劇 - Drama
In old kabuki Drama, a fearsome actor painted with tiger stripes fights a bumbling pig using a gleaming katana, the clash exaggerated for the audience’s thrill. The mix of beastly ferocity and comic clumsiness mirrors the theatrical extremes Japanese theatre is famous for, where every gesture is a spectacle.
