Kabuki Jūhachiban



The Kabuki Jūhachiban (歌舞伎十八番), or Eighteen Best Kabuki Plays, is a set of kabuki plays, strongly associated with the Ichikawa Danjūrō line of actors ever since their premieres, and chosen (assembled as "the eighteen") later by actor Ichikawa Danjūrō VII (1800-1832) as the greatest representations of the aragoto style in the repertoire. The Danjūrō line has continued to dominate the leading roles, and the printing and production of these plays ever since.
