Japanese Sleeve Tattoo Designs
The Japanese have been involved with tattoo ink permanently on to a person's body for centuries now. They have a very old, rich and traditional culture and their tattoos are now less meaningful. They have produced some of the most incredible body suit tattoos which often include sleeve tattoos. Thus they have a long tradition of sleeve tattoo designs. Many of these designs have been accepted in the west and in fact some of the most popular tattoo artists and designs today are from traditional Japanese tattoos. Probably the most common of these is the koi fish tattoo. These make a great sleeve design with a large goldish/orange fish swimming upstream and splashing the water. These designs symbolism strength, power and individualism. The Hanya masks used in traditional Japanese Noh performances are also a very popular design. The mask is typically very evil and scary looking and is meant as a symbol of protection and to ward off bad spirits. For the women in the group and the men also another very popular Japanese design is the Cherry blossom tattoo which can also be done very easily as a sleeve design.
Flames And Skulls Designs
Flames and skull have always been a very popular theme within tattooing. For those who love hot rods and racing or living life to the fullest flame and skulls can work very well into a tattoo design. Flames are very colorful and of course look great when integrated into a sleeve tattoo design. Starting down at the wrist and then burning up the arm.
Dragon Tattoo Designs
Dragon tattoos are also very popular and look great as a full sleeve or even a half or quarter sleeve tattoo design. They can start down low on the forearm and weave their way up the arm and onto the top of the chest or shoulder area. The only decisions you have to make here is do you want a more Western and medieval times looking dragon or a Chinese dragon design but either way you cannot go wrong with a dragon design for a sleeve tattoo.

The art of kabuki and where to watch a kabuki play
The literal meaning of Kabuki is singing and dancing technique. Kabuki is traditional Japanese musical drama which was invented almost four centuries ago. It represents the rich and diverse culture of Japan. The highlight of Kabuki plays are elaborate make up and costumes and gestures.
Kabuki was invented for the entertainment of the common masses. It was unlike the Noh, which was invented for the pleasure of the elite class. While Noh was graceful, Kabuki was loud, Noh was for educated people whereas anybody could enjoy Kabuki which relied heavily on grand costumes and bright masks and elaborate gestures and poses from the actors. The art of Kabuki was invented by a woman who danced in a tea shop dressed as a man. Later encouraged by the response, groups of women started performing and soon this form of entertainment became very popular. Women enacted both male and female parts; while the popularity of Kabuki grew, the performances of some groups became lewd and suggestive and so women were then banned from Kabuki.
Now men totally dominated the performances. Men played women's part extremely well, they dressed like women, wore exaggerated make up and skillfully controlled their voices. Even today men play the part of women to perfection though some troupes have inducted women as well.
The main themes of Kabuki play are historical, domestic and dance numbers. The Kabuki actors have full control over vocals and often you can make out the meaning of the play even when if you do not understand the language. As a matter of fact the language of Kabuki plays is quite old and is incomprehensible to the Japanese themselves. Usually a small orchestra featuring traditional Japanese musical instruments accompanies the performances.
There were some features which made Kabuki so very special and unique. First was the revolving stage. With a revolving stage, the background scenery could be changed without dropping the curtains. There were trapdoors on the stage and the actors suddenly appeared and disappeared. There were harnesses which helped the actors to "fly"; these are known as special effects in today's language and maybe they were inspired by Kabuki. The actors also suddenly changed their costumes.
In Japan, Kabuki-za in Tokyo is the most famous Kabuki theatre. The theatre was built in 1889 and has been rebuilt a couple of times. The theatre has been closed for major repairs and will reopen in 2013. The performances are being held at the Shinbashi Enbujo. Minami-za in Kyoto and the National Theatre in Chiyoda Japan are other venues were Kabuki performances are held.
