What is 'Taishu Engeki'?

Picturesque photo captured from a Taishu Engeki performance. This is my wallpaper. Beautiful shot indeed.
If you ask me what is my current muse, it would be Taishu Engeki.

Try asking people about traditional Japanese theater and the most common answers would be Kabuki, Noh (masked theater), or  Bunraku (puppet theater). These traditional Japanese theaters have been practiced over hundreds of years and today, these became the highest art forms in traditional Japanese theater. However, what most people don't know is the existence of a particular kind of theater in Japan that have been practiced also for over hundreds of years and survived as traditional theater and  at the same time also a modern theater.

My current theater influence...

I adore this pair. They are the epitome of love and hate. Guess who is the love and who is the hate. 

Watching and observing their performances actually stimulates my artistic motivations. They really are top stars of the stage. Aside from being hailed as Hesei era geniuses, these two are best friends despite the four-year age gap. Being known as heirs of the two most successful and popular theaters in Japan, they have grown so much.  Now, they are respectively the chairmen of their own troupes and I salute to both of them: Nidaime Zacho and Sandaime Zacho. :)

I give them credit for making me read some kanji.
They are the real Mary Sues/Marty Stus, actually. lol
