    There are three main types of Japanese theater: Kabuki, known for its colorful costumes and musical-like performances; Noh, which combines singing and dancing and was created by Kannami and Zeami; and Bunraku, which uses puppets to tell stories. While all showcase elements of traditional Japanese culture, they each have distinct stylistic qualities and origins.
