c. Lesson Proper
We have already discussed the background and history of
Kabuki theater, now let us focus on its costume and
makeup.

One of the most iconic parts of kabuki is that Actors apply

their own make-up by painting their faces and necks white,
then adding stylized lines in red, black or blue.

There are two main categories of actors, the Onnagata for

women and Aragoto for men.

Aragoto usually applies red and blue paint and Onna-gata

usually have very little paint in their faces.

The white make up that they put on their faces is called

Oshiroi Base which is a Rice Powder.

The enhanced and exaggerated facial lines that produces

dramatic animal or supernatural character is called
Kumadori.
Representation of Colors:
• Red ~ passion, heroism, righteousness, other
 positive traits
• Pink ~ youthful joy
• Light Blue ~ an even temper
• Pale Green ~ peacefulness
• Blue/Black ~ villainy, jealousy, other negative
traits
• Green ~ supernatural
• Purple ~ nobility
Kabuki Props:
Are often quite interesting.
Flowing water is usually represented by fluttering tolls
of linen; or creatures like insects and foxes.
Fans are used to symbolize wind, a sword, a tobacco
pipe, waves.
Costumes:
Swung from sticks or manipulated by helpers who come
on stage dressed in black hooded; they are invisible to
the audience.
The female characters generally wear an elaborate
kimono and obi.
Pleated hakuma trousers are worn by characters of
sexes.
Actors playing both sexes often have supported dignity
because a straight and curveless figure are regarded
the essence of beauty.
Costume Changing:
Considered as an art.
There are special teams that take care of complete and
partial costume changes and aredone as part of the
performances.
Wigs:
Are important accessories, with each costume having
its own type.
Specialized craftsmen shape the wigs to the head.
Are made of:
Human hair
Horse hair Each facial make up,
Bear fur they have their own
Yak-tail hair facial expressions

Kumadori enhances or exaggerates facial lines to produce has different
dramatic animal or supernatural character. meanings.

The teacher will ask how you will describe these images
(showing different pictures of kabuki character). What
makes it unique?

Yes Ma’am.
Correct! There are different faces that represents different
expressions. Same to us we have different faces but each of

happiness.
