Betsy-san! welcome back! Nice to hear that you're okay. Honto ni arigatou for the pics!!! :bow: :bow: :bow: Whoa!! So many of them!
Went to a bookstore last week and found a book on Kabuki by chance. Not a single piece of info on Ebi-sama. The book was published in 1993. It only mentions in the list of actors which says that Shinnosuke is the son of Ichikawa Danjuro XII.
Think Ebi-sama deserves a huge credit for bringing the young people's interest in Kabuki!
Ahh he's amazing, Ebi-sama, right Betsy-san?

Yeah, Ebizo only was 15 years-old at that time, so he was only known as the son of the current Ichikawa Danjuro. BTW, do you remember what was the name of this book ??? I think I've read this one already.

And in fact he's credited for bringing a new audience to Kabuki. But the Kabuki traditional fans also love him.
And, yeah, he's amazing indeed !!!!!!:smitten:
