5. KABUKI BOOK COVERS: ONOE KIKUGORŌ (Vol. 6 in GENDAI WAKATE KABUKI HAIYŪ SHŪ)


The fifth entry in Kabuki Woogie’s coverage of Japanese books on kabuki from my private collection is volume 6 of the Gendai Wakate Kabuki Haiyú Shū collection. The title is ONOE KIKUGORŌ, and the subject is Kikugorō VII, son of Onoe Baikō VII. He, too, is a major leader of today’s kabuki. The book’s editor is Hagiwara Yukio.

Like the others in this series, the book is part photo album and part overview of the actor’s career to the year of publication, 1973.
