What kind of Japanese culture do you know? There is a very famous traditional Japanese culture called Kabuki (歌舞伎) which is a performing art played by only male actors. Today its new history was opened. The new Kabukiza (歌舞伎座) theater in Ginza (銀座) was finally opened after 3 years' reconstructing. The formal opening of a new theater is called kokeraotoshi (杮落とし). There were so many big stars played today, though two big stars (Nakamura Kanzaburo: 中村勘三郎 & Ichikawa Danjuro : 市川団十郎) passed away suddenly last December and this February respectively. Kabuki has about 400 years' history. I only watched the live one for a few times. I do not understand well but last time when I went to see them with Mongolian Japanologists I enjoyed a lot. I recommend you to see at least once in a life time.
