It's just that in his early works, "tradition" accounted for a larger proportion, such as this "Tiger's Tail を Step む Nanda".
The performances of the participating actors are all great, (personally, I admire Fujita Shin who plays the porter the most). I believe that if they were put on the stage of "Japanese opera", they would be very successful actors. (Like our Guo Degang [laughs]).
Final conclusion: it is a perfect stage play in the style of traditional "Japanese opera".
