In the early 1890's, a short comedy "Choogin", an Okinawan version of Kyogen (short comedy originally performed as a part of The Noh program) was produced. As in typical Okinawan comedy, humorous gestures made by the actors called "sanmai-me" make the audience laugh more than the speeches. Some of the early Okinawan kigeki were mere imitations of comedies produced on the mainland of of Japan. Still, those from the mainland were fresh and exiting for young performers and audiences in Okinawa. Comedies portraying local cultural climate and culture were accepted by people. Then many new works with social satires were produced later. |
