父親として夫として兄として息子として更には役者としていつも感動してみています。また2人の息子さんが可愛くて育ちの良さがよくわかります。七之助さんも素晴らしい役者てであり2人の頼りになるおじさん。2人のお母さんもいつのまにか梨園の奥さまに。そして頼もしい母親の様子に笑みがこぼれて中村屋のビデオをみると心豊かになりますよ。更にご活躍をお祈りいたします。

Ichikawa Ebizo has often been touted as 'the Prince of Kabuki,' but I think the Nakamuraya brothers have a far more illustrious pedigree, and heavier legacies to continue. I hope when you cover Kanzaburo XVII's shumei, you touch on the story of how came to take on the name? The Nakamura Kanzaburo name had not been held for over a century when he was allowed to revive it, I'm curious how that came about. And much has been said about how the Nakamuraya has inherited roles and kata from the Harimaya, Otowaya, and Narikomaya, but i I'm also curious if the Kanzaburos ever endeavoured to revive roles and kata associated with the original Kanzaburo line of actors.

Hi Karlo, I think I might have the answer to some of your questions. First, please forgive my grammar and word choice because I am not a native English speaker. The simple answer to your question of how Kanzaburo XVII revived the name 55 years after the death of Kanzaburo XIII in 1885 is that Otani Takejiro (the founder of Shochiku) offered him the name. Why would Kanzaburo want to take the name? Well, all thanks to his grandfather (from his mother's side) Yamamoto Takejiro who loves traditional arts. When Kanzaburo was little, his grandfather read him a picture book featuring Nakamura Kanzaburo I. It might come out as a joke, but his grandfather told young Kanzaburo to take the name when he grow up and become a great actor. So when Otani Takejiro offered Kanzaburo the name, his grandfather's words strikes him and he accepted the name and became the famous Nakamura Kanzaburo XVII. Although this might sound made up, but it is translated from Kanzaburo XVII's book for real😂

Since we are talking about Nakamura Kanzaburo XVII, there are a couple of stories I would to share with you and the rest. I will talk more about the "possible" names Kanzaburo XVII was going to take and stories about Kanzaburo's both parents and their families when I got time.
