Kaomise Soken 2016: Geiko Hisasuzu and Maiko Ichiteru and Ichiaya (Masunoya Okiya) of Pontocho at the Pontocho Kaburenjo Theatre.

Every year during December, Japan’s most famous Kabuki actors come to play in Kyoto at the famous Minamiza Theatre near Miyagawacho.

Watching the first five performances is a privilege for only the wealthy and influential, and also Kyoto’s Maiko and Geiko have seats reserved every year.

After the performances, the Maiko ask their favourite actors to sign the maneki-tags on their special maneki-kanzashi, made to resemble the actual signs put up at the Minamiza to announce the performances and participating actors every year. This event is called Kaomise Soken.

The actors playing a male role sign with black ink and the actors playing a female role sign with red lipstick.

This year, Kaomise Soken takes place at the Pontocho Kaburenjo Theatre due to construction work at the Minamiza Theatre.
