- Abstract
Since World War II, with the development of the economy, more and more Japanese women have entered different work fields and played an important role. However, kabuki performance, the earliest form of performance founded by Japanese women, is mainly performed by male actors, and female actors are rarely seen. This paper discusses this phenomenon and takes the influence of public policy, the obstruction of vested interests in the cultural field and audience experience as the main reasons. At present, as more Japanese female actors appear on various performance stages and the aesthetic changes of the audience, female actors may return to the stage of Kabuki performance, although it may take a long time.
