Aragoto

Aragoto

nihongo|Aragoto|荒事, or "rough style", is a style of kabuki acting that uses exaggerated, dynamic "kata" (forms or movements) and speech. Often, aragoto actors wear bold red or blue makeup ("kumadori"), and have costumes that are padded and enlarged. The term "aragoto" is an abbreviation of the term "aramushagoto", which literally means "reckless warrior matter".

The style was created and pioneered by Ichikawa Danjūrō I, an actor in the Edo region, and has come to be epitomized by his successors in the Ichikawa Danjūrō line. Roles such as the leads in "Sukeroku" and "Shibaraku" are particularly representative of the style. "Aragoto" is often contrasted with "wagoto" ("soft") style, which emerged around the same time but focuses on more naturalistic drama.
