What Is a Mie Pose?

- In this video, we take a look at the mie (見得) poses, one of the most important and distinct elements of kabuki performance.
Some important have been left out of the final edit, including some important poses, such as the impressive ebizori performed by onnagata, the soku mie and the yūrei, "ghost" mie, and the many character or play-specific examples. Much more could be said about the acting and the music, including the interaction with the narimono and shamisen. Hopefully I can cover them on another occasion!

This is what I always say man fr
I can listen to Kabuki music all day long👹
Love Kabuki such a beautiful art form
Thank you for your latest video looking at mie poses in Kabuki. I've learned so much about them, including when the actor crosses his eyes when doing some of them.
In a way, they remind me of silent movie close-ups, when the audience is busy anticipating what happens next or in mostly Western theatre/film or TV performances when the actor breaks the fourth wall with a look or a gesture. Kabuki performances may have had a hand in developing the actor's techniques!
It is another beautifully executed video that enhances my enjoyment of Kabuki by whatever means possible (until I can hopefully see it for real in Japan). Many thanks, K-i-D!
PS: I got the book 'Meiji Kabuki' for my birthday. It may be an academic book but it is nicely readable for anyone who is interested in this beautiful Japanese traditional art form.
Keep doing what you do so well.
I am so inspired and very lucky to see such a fine thing. Maybe I can see one performance in person someday 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I hope you do! I have and loved it. You would too.
love the mie poses😊
Saludos de Chile, bello arte!
I am enchanted with everything related to Kabuki❤
Not to insult the awesomeness of Kabuki, but politicians need to do this every now and then. 😂 "We're going to pass this bill!" (mie pose!)
2:54 reminds me of GUNDAM SAZABI..I am sure this was among some of the inspirations to create the various Gundam like the ASTRAY one...so amazing! Japan is the most original country in the world.
OMG it's outta this World!
Wonderful information. Thank you!
The mie of Danjuurou Ichikawa XIII 👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️

nice video
Wait... Looking at this... Is the makeup designed to draw attention to the facial expressions?
Excellent video as always bro. As a fan of the Aragoto style, I've always enjoyed the mie poses that occur in Kabuki. By the way, by the way, I have an important doubt here about this piece that I showed a while ago, Onagori Kobiki no Danmari (th-cam.com/video/JAOVoOzewts/w-d-xo.html): Do you know the name of the last two poses shown in the videos (mainly the one made by Bandō Mitsugorō X in the final minutes of the video, from minute 19:30)?
It is a common mie in preparation for a roppo, but I've never seen it mentioned by name. If I learn how it's called, I'll let you know!
@@KabukiInDepth OK. Here I can ask you for a video suggestion: could you talk about the Akashiya and Kyōya acting houses? Both have a very curious history: the head of the Akashiya house is Ōtani Tomoemon VIII, a popular tachiyaku. The head of the Akashiya house is Nakamura Jakuemon V, a famous onnagata. The two are BROTHERS (Tomoemon VIII is the older brother and Jakuemon V is the younger brother), both sons of the legendary onnagata Nakamura Jakuemon IV and both grandsons of the great Ōtani Tomoemon VI, a mega popular pre-WWII tachiyaku (even his death is one of the most brutal: killed during an earthquake in Shimane Prefecture, crushed by the structure of the kabuki theater where he was). I even think it would be good for you to explain why the eldest son of Jakuemon IV became Tomoemon VIII while the youngest became Jakuemon V (since in practice the eldest son would inherit his father's name)...
時代物の元禄見得では車引き、国性爺合戦ぐらいですかね?
ODEN!
Would the Danjuro Nirami qualify as a mie?
Certainly! By itself, the nirami is only the "glare" part of a mie, but I imagine that you refer to the shizome ceremony the Ichikawa actor perform, on name-taking ceremonies and other important occasions. In fact, it is essentially the same variation of the Genroku mie that Umeōmaru strikes at 3:52 in Kurumabiki.
😁😁😁

yakuza character??
Thank you for posting this! I have a question: I notice that sometimes when they cut a mie pose, they freeze in place and sometimes they let the movement ripple through their body so their head bobs a few times. Is there significance to the bobbing motion vs stillness?
i dont understand what are sing
