Kabuki evening at the samurai garden

Bulgari

The Kabuki performance “Chūshingura” epitomizes the essence of Japanese loyalty and obedience. The act, which translates literally to “Loyal League,” is based on a true story in the early 18th century. 10 samurai committed an honorable suicide after illegally taking revenge for their master, who was humiliated in front of Edo castle. Today, the garden of the Italian Embassy in Tokyo sits on the former estate of the Edo clan Matsudaira family, where the loyal samurai committed this fatal act. This Kabuki evening brings back the samurai history, as well as the strong determination and devotion of the historical warriors. Guests of Italian jeweler Bulgari were treated graciously for their continuous loyalty, while they watched a special Kabuki performance at “Kane ga Misaki” by Onoe Kikunosuke V unfold in the night garden.
