Ebizo Ichikawa (Kabuki actor):
Currently, I think that the people involved in the theater and many people are living their day to day with great feelings in the Corona disaster, and the number of clients that come to the theater is decreasing. So, I decided to launch this project.
2025, when the Osaka Expo is scheduled to take place, will be the 400th year since the theater was built in Dotonbori. We have announced it today so that the traditional culture of Osaka can be enriched even a little and that everyone in Osaka can enjoy the traditional culture.
Starting with this revival festival of Japanese theater culture, I sincerely look forward to the future development of Osaka theater culture, various traditional cultures, entertainment and further development of Osaka.
Bunzo Otsuki (Noh Shitekata Kanze school / human national treasure):
