The KABUKI
. . . Function of the Kurombo
By M. SITARR
JHE basic characteristic of the Kabuki theatre
is its emphasis on the theatricality7 of the
performance and its consequent avoidance of
illusion. The purpose of very7 elaborate, large,
colorful settings is for stage decoration, not for
disguising the stage so that it will pass for a
real place. Scene changes take place before the
eyes of the audience; there is no attempt to
convince the audience that this is done by secret
or any7 magical means. The curtain is not drawn
when the revolving stage or a wagon stage is
used, for this forms a way7 to display7 theatre
machinery which is a delight in itself. Because
there is no attempt to create an illusion, persons
who are not actors come on stage during the
performance to enhance the expressiveness of
the actor.
The actor has supporters called kurombo or
koken. These men act as servants of the actors.
They appear on stage to perform such jobs as
; carrying props, which they7 give to the actor at
the appropriate moment. Property is used to
enhance the drama and as soon as it is no
longer needed the actor places it behind him,
and these so-called seiwants remove them. Be
cause of this, properties can have great dramatic
power for they are seen when needed and re
moved immediately before their presence be
comes distracting to the scene.
The Kabuki costume is an integral part,
invested with many7 ways to enhance expressive
ness, and therefore is a complicated affair. Often
it weighs about fifty7 pounds, consisting- of sev
eral layers of kimono. The actor must be careful
to keep the arrangement of the lines gracefully
and so he must sit down or move about skilfully7.
His servant hovers about arranging the folds or
adjusting its line. When the scene calls for
fighting or other strenuous activity, the seiwant
helps him remove his right arm from his kimono
and then helps him put it back after the scene.
When a rapid costume change known as kikinuki is to be done, the servant at the appropriate
moment pulls on the threads with which the parts
of the kimono were loosely7 basted together for
this purpose. The operation requires skill on
■the part of the servant who must do this during
the dance movement. These clothes are taken
away7 as soon as possible by7 the servant unless
they7 are reworn by7 the actor. These servants
also prompt the actor, usually7 by7 crouching up
stage of the actor rather than from the wings.
Although the servant tries to make himself
as inconspicuous as possible, he does this not
because he is a non-realistic intrusion into the
stage picture, but because he does not want to
detract from the gestalt of the stage, a design.
he has helped to create by his dexterous handlingof the costumes and the skillful manipulation
of the properties.
The servant is an essential part of the Kabuki
for he serves to arrange and change the actor’s
costume, to bring the property at the right time,

etc., so that the dramatic expressiveness of the
actor will not be lessened at the crucial moment.
The servants usually are seen on stage during a
scene change, dressed in black, but they also
come during the act to remove or bring some
scenery. For example, gate# to indicate entrance
to a house or garden are often brought on as
required and then removed to prevent the im
pediment of the actor.
So from all this, the servant, the stage hand,
the prompter (as the kurombo or koken might be
called in English) form an intimate part of the
Kabuki.

The KABUKI
. . . Function of the Kurombo
By M. SITARR
JHE basic characteristic of the Kabuki theatre
is its emphasis on the theatricality7 of the
performance and its consequent avoidance of
illusion. The purpose of very7 elaborate, large,
colorful settings is for stage decoration, not for
disguising the stage so that it will pass for a
real place. Scene changes take place before the
eyes of the audience; there is no attempt to
convince the audience that this is done by secret
or any7 magical means. The curtain is not drawn
when the revolving stage or a wagon stage is
used, for this forms a way7 to display7 theatre
machinery which is a delight in itself. Because
there is no attempt to create an illusion, persons
who are not actors come on stage during the
performance to enhance the expressiveness of
the actor.
The actor has supporters called kurombo or
koken. These men act as servants of the actors.
They appear on stage to perform such jobs as
; carrying props, which they7 give to the actor at
the appropriate moment. Property is used to
enhance the drama and as soon as it is no
longer needed the actor places it behind him,
and these so-called seiwants remove them. Be
cause of this, properties can have great dramatic
power for they are seen when needed and re
moved immediately before their presence be
comes distracting to the scene.
The Kabuki costume is an integral part,
invested with many7 ways to enhance expressive
ness, and therefore is a complicated affair. Often
it weighs about fifty7 pounds, consisting- of sev
eral layers of kimono. The actor must be careful
to keep the arrangement of the lines gracefully
and so he must sit down or move about skilfully7.
His servant hovers about arranging the folds or
adjusting its line. When the scene calls for
fighting or other strenuous activity, the seiwant
helps him remove his right arm from his kimono
and then helps him put it back after the scene.
When a rapid costume change known as kikinuki is to be done, the servant at the appropriate
moment pulls on the threads with which the parts
of the kimono were loosely7 basted together for
this purpose. The operation requires skill on
■the part of the servant who must do this during
the dance movement. These clothes are taken
away7 as soon as possible by7 the servant unless
they7 are reworn by7 the actor. These servants
also prompt the actor, usually7 by7 crouching up
stage of the actor rather than from the wings.
Although the servant tries to make himself
as inconspicuous as possible, he does this not
because he is a non-realistic intrusion into the
stage picture, but because he does not want to
detract from the gestalt of the stage, a design.
he has helped to create by his dexterous handlingof the costumes and the skillful manipulation
of the properties.
The servant is an essential part of the Kabuki
for he serves to arrange and change the actor’s
costume, to bring the property at the right time,

etc., so that the dramatic expressiveness of the
actor will not be lessened at the crucial moment.
The servants usually are seen on stage during a
scene change, dressed in black, but they also
come during the act to remove or bring some
scenery. For example, gate# to indicate entrance
to a house or garden are often brought on as
required and then removed to prevent the im
pediment of the actor.
So from all this, the servant, the stage hand,
the prompter (as the kurombo or koken might be
called in English) form an intimate part of the
Kabuki.

Sports Review
By HANK
The Labor Day weekend com
ing up is sort of a major turning
point in the annual cycle of
Nisei sports, the sudden change
from summer activities to win
ter pastimes. When September
arrives, baseball and softball
playoffs final, tennis and golf
^tournaments will be completed.
But before the dust of these
events has settled, hockey prac
tices will commence, badminton
will replace tennis, and, of
course, those long lists of names
and figures will pour over this
desk as the active Nisei world
hibernates in bowling alleys.
But, to get back to the com
ing weekend—here are the two
or three days on which the big
tournaments are
run off. Over 75 tennis players
will wind up their 8th Nisei
Open on Labor Day at the Trin
ity Courts. Two local golf cours
es. Rouge ’ Hill and Lakeview,
will see about the same number
hole event Sunday and Monday.
The biggest spectator attrac
tion. however, will be the Inter
national Softball Tournament at
Bellwoods Park, Saturday and
Sunday, sponsored by Toronto
J CCA. Toronto, Hamilton and
Chatham are the Canadian en
tries, while Chicago Saints will
provide the international flavor.
Upwards of 1,500 people will see
the final game Sunday and more
than 500 will attend the tour
nament dance Saturday night.
This newspaper likes to think
it maintains a fair coverage of
Nisei sports in Canada, but real
izes there are many other activ
ities not reported in these col
umns, particularly outside Tor
onto and Ontario. Our limited
staff does not enable us to get
the full reporting we’d like to
have.
We wish to encourage all
leagues and clubs not to hesitate
in sending us reports. And we’re
grateful to those who have been
writing regularly to us.

Sports Review
By HANK
The Labor Day weekend com
ing up is sort of a major turning
point in the annual cycle of
Nisei sports, the sudden change
from summer activities to win
ter pastimes. When September
arrives, baseball and softball
playoffs final, tennis and golf
^tournaments will be completed.
But before the dust of these
events has settled, hockey prac
tices will commence, badminton
will replace tennis, and, of
course, those long lists of names
and figures will pour over this
desk as the active Nisei world
hibernates in bowling alleys.
But, to get back to the com
ing weekend—here are the two
or three days on which the big
tournaments are
run off. Over 75 tennis players
will wind up their 8th Nisei
Open on Labor Day at the Trin
ity Courts. Two local golf cours
es. Rouge ’ Hill and Lakeview,
will see about the same number
hole event Sunday and Monday.
The biggest spectator attrac
tion. however, will be the Inter
national Softball Tournament at
Bellwoods Park, Saturday and
Sunday, sponsored by Toronto
J CCA. Toronto, Hamilton and
Chatham are the Canadian en
tries, while Chicago Saints will
provide the international flavor.
Upwards of 1,500 people will see
the final game Sunday and more
than 500 will attend the tour
nament dance Saturday night.
This newspaper likes to think
it maintains a fair coverage of
Nisei sports in Canada, but real
izes there are many other activ
ities not reported in these col
umns, particularly outside Tor
onto and Ontario. Our limited
staff does not enable us to get
the full reporting we’d like to
have.
We wish to encourage all
leagues and clubs not to hesitate
in sending us reports. And we’re
grateful to those who have been
writing regularly to us.
