Kabuki

Japanese: かぶき

A noun derived from the conjunctive form of the verb kabuku. By extension, it refers to unorthodox or traditional, bizarre appearances, free-spirited actions, flirtatious behavior, etc., and was popular as a word that expressed the aesthetic sense of the time from the Azuchi-Momoyama period to the early Edo period. In the "Nippo Jisho" (Japanese-Portuguese Dictionary), kabuku is written as kabuitahito, and flashy-dressed outlaws and wanderers were called kabukimono. → Kabuki / Town slave / Basara
