Danjuro Ichikawa returns to Tokyo from a two-day and one-night hot spring trip

After the performance, he went on a trip to a hot spring on the same day

In mid-June, kabuki actor Danjuro Ichikawa Shirasaru (47) emerged from the Yaesu exit of Tokyo Station wearing a white T-shirt, navy blue shorts, sunglasses, and sandals. He was carrying a large attache case with a Boston bag on top, giving the impression that he was returning to Tokyo from a trip.

In fact, the day before the performance, Danjuro had updated his blog “Ichikawa Danjuro Shirasaru Official B. He wrote that he had gone on a “casual” trip to a hot spring after the end of a performance of “June Grand Kabuki” at the Kabuki-za Theater (Higashi-ginza, Tokyo). The scene at the beginning of the article shows him returning to Tokyo completely refreshed.

Incidentally, Danjuro revealed on his blog that he and his eldest daughter, Botan Ichikawa (13), a dancer, and his eldest son, Shinnosuke Ichikawa VIII (12), had dinner together after the performance.

In the “June Grand Kabuki,” Onoe Kikugoro VIII (47) and Onoe Kikunosuke VI (11) gave a performance to announce their succession to the stage name. Danjuro was performing in the first play of the evening performance, “A While”, which began at 4:15 p.m. The next day was a day off. Since the next day was a day off, he must have left for his destination immediately after his performance. Not only Danjuro, but also other popular actors are very busy, so it is difficult for them to travel unless they do so.

On this day, it seems that he went alone, but he took care of his two children very well. Shinnosuke is also Danjuro’s apprentice, so he is always with him. Botan-san also often accompanies Shinnosuke-san, not only on dance-related jobs but also when he is working as an actor under the name ‘Reichu Horikoshi.

In fact, a few days later, this website also saw such an adorable father and daughter at the “HTT Projection Mapping Event” held on July 1 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office to promote the “HTT (H=Help, T=Make, T=Hoard)” initiative to decarbonize and secure electricity, where Reichu made an appearance as a comedian “Chocolate Planet. Reichu appeared with the comedian “Chocolate Planet”. At the event, a commercial in which he appeared with two members of Chocolate Planet was introduced, and Reichu said, “I took a picture the other day at such a big Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building,

Reichu said, “I didn’t expect to see the commercial I shot the other day at such a big Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. I am very happy to see it.

Reichu replied with a smile. After the event, Reichu came out of the backstage with the staff after changing into her casual clothes, and Danjuro came out later. Although he was not present at the event, he seemed to have come to witness the event as a father for his lovely daughter. On his blog that day, he simply wrote, “I went to see the event,” and attached a news article about the event, showing his parental foolishness.

The whole skeleton of my bones will be changed.”

Currently, the movie “Kokuho,” which depicts the world of Kabuki, is an unprecedented hit. The movie depicts the “bloodline” of “father and son,” with scenes of intense practice by the father beating his son’s legs with a stick.

On July 12, Danjuro updated his YouTube channel “KABUKU./Ichikawa Danjuro.” on July 12. about the scene,

I think it was not that lukewarm. In my case, it was a little more severe. It was that kind of time. (He made a clapping gesture with his hand.) Like a clap. (While making a clapping gesture with his hand). It was normal, wasn’t it? It wasn’t like that. It was a little more violent. It was so intense that I thought my entire skeleton would change. But it’s not like that now.

He also had his two children watch the film. He also said that he let his two children watch the film,

I am very happy that I was able to see this movie at this time.

He also said, “I am very happy that I was able to see this movie at this time. With the success of “Kokuho,” the Kabuki star family is sure to attract even more attention in the future.
