Dojyoji is the masterpiece of Onnagata dance, expressing every aspect of woman's heart.
The original Kyokanoko-musume-dojyoji 京鹿子娘道成寺 is danced by one Onnagata. There are a couple of versions, such as Ninin-doujyoji 二人道成寺 by two Onnagata. This is Meoto-doujyoji 男女道成寺 by a man and an Onnagata.
one interesting fact...he seems so graceful and whatnot because he uses a disability to his advantage...he has a bad leg...and that allows his actions to not be to robust...absoloutly amazing
I taped this when it was on tv. I lost that tape over the years and was sad not to see Tamasaburo's lovely dancing anymore. I'm so happy to have found this again! Thank you! He has more grace than probably any woman I've seen.
He is 40? he look like he is in his 20s.

Dance is the art of illustion. Tomasaburo
is the grand wizard of its mysterious
alchemy. Fascinating hands. Thank you
for showing dance's power in the hands
of a master.

I did not know that, it would have killed his line of work in the west. He is my favorite kabuki dancer.

La expresión del feminismo de Tamasaburo es teatral, no vital, una mujer no interpretaría, sería. This is a great diference.

In this role Tamasaburo manages to convey femininity with superb perfection! Never tired to watch his dances. Again, thank you so much.

heatherleaves, you can ask your local library to do an inter-library loan perhaps? Many public libraries seem to carry this tape.
