This show represents a growing trend in Japan's traditional performing arts to make high culture more accessible through technology. The art form originated in Kyoto in the early 1600s as a female dance troupe, but became an all-male performance after women were banned. In the late 19th century, kabuki actors like Ichikawa Umanosuke helped shape fashion trends and sell products, transforming its image from entertainment for the masses to traditional high art by the early 20th century.
