Miracle at Yaguchi Ferry is an example of the skillful adaptation of a doll play for the Kabuki theatre. Kabuki is a total theatre in every sense of the word. For those of us in the West who have had to be satisfied with the more prosaic theatre, we fell heir to at the end of the 19th century, Kabuki offers not only a breath of fresh air, but a new and enlightening perspective on what theatre can be when it is truly popular and possesses a style given it by centuries of study and refinement.
