Kabuki
is a classical form of Japanese dance-drama. Kabuki theatre is known for its heavily-stylised performances, the often-glamorous costumes worn by performers, and for the elaborate make-up worn by some of its performers.

The art form later developed into its present all-male theatrical form after women were banned from performing in kabuki theatre in 1629.
