Cinema Kabuki Nodaban Sakura no Mori no Mankai no Shita

[Machine Translation] A man meets a beautiful and cruel princess - the legendary play reborn as a Kabuki play comes to life on Blu-ray! Hideki Noda, one of the most gifted theater directors of our time, wrote the play "Gansaku: Under the Cherry Blossoms in Full Blossom" based on Ango Sakaguchi's novels "Under the Cherry Blossom Forest" and "The Princess Yonagatohime and the Ear Man". Since its premiere by the Yume no Yumensha theater company, the magnificent play with the essence of Ango's works scattered throughout the play and its bewitching and overwhelmingly beautiful world have captured the hearts of many audiences, and there are always requests for the play to be performed again. This legendary play has finally been reborn as a Kabuki play, written and directed by Hideki Noda himself, with a diverse cast including Kankuro Nakamura, Koshiro Matsumoto, Shichinosuke Nakamura, Senjaku Nakamura, and Yajuro Bando. --A deep, deep forest of cherry blossoms. The time is the reign of Emperor Tenchi. Three masters of the art of Hida are gathered under the king of the Hida royal family. Their names are Mimi Otoko, Manako, and Oama. The King of Hida orders the three to compete with each other to carve Buddhist statues to protect his daughters, Princess Yonagatohime and Princess Hayanami, but in fact, each of the three has concealed their true identities and lied about their master status. The three were given three years to compete, until the New Year when Princess Yonagahime would be 16 years old. Three years pass, and when the three have completed the Buddha statue, their respective agendas intersect... Limited bonus: Special case (designed and supervised by Hibi no Kozue) with 3 postcards.
