Yesterday's enjoyable Kabuki in London 2

"Ichikawa Ebizo XI"
This visit features Kabuki superstar Ebizo XI, from the new generation of the famous Ichikawa familywho have set the standard for Kabuki performance for eleven generations, dating back to 1673. With his film-star looks, 28 year old Ebizo is one of Japan's most popular actors, credited for re-introducing Kabuki to new generation.

Luckily, "Ebizo san"turned up after the play at that night so I got a brilliant his sign. It's really really hard to get close to him in Japan as he is super popular! I am so lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He wore Jinbei(type of kimono)and put on sunglasses even night time!?Btw, can you see my head on bottom right?
