In this video, we have a look at the kabuki plays most often performed in the period between 1989 and 2022. Interestingly enough, a table compiled by Samuel L. Leiter, for the period between 1952 and 1965 (in his book “Kabuki at the Crossroads“), yields almost the same results, with Renjishi replaced by Kagami Jishi, Futatsu Chōchō Kuruwa Nikki by Benten Kozō and Koi no Tayori Yamato Ōrai by Imoseyama Onna Teikin, and some small differences in the order.
