Watercolor on paper illustration 21 x 28 cm.KABUKI ~ TWO LION

Renjishi (連獅子), or Two Lions, is a kabuki dance with lyrics written by Kawatake Mokuami, choreography by Hanayagi Jusuke I, and music by Kineya Shōjirō III and Kineya Katsusaburō II, first performed in 1872.

Originally staged for a private dance recital in 1861, it was later expanded and reused in July 1872 as the fourth act for another play at the Murayama-za in Tokyo. Renjishi continued to evolve, with two different sets of music being used (both still performed), and the comic interlude added in 1901.A later version was created for one father and two lion cubs.

One of many kabuki works based on the noh play Shakkyō (The Stone Bridge), in the last stages of Renjishi's development as a kabuki dance it was brought closer back to the noh version. In particular, in the February 1901 performance at the Tokyo-za, Renjishi was turned into a matsubame mono (pine-board play), modifying the stage to replicate the noh stage's green pine tree background.

It is a popular dance in the kabuki repertoire that is often performed.

      Leszek Gaczkowski  was born and live's in Silesia, Poland. He received a technical education even though from an early age he exhibited a strong interest in music and arts. He also plays guitars. However he gave up his passion to pursue a different path, and now he's returning to it. He believes that painting or any other form of art is an illustration of his ideas. It expresses his feelings, his natural abilities, and the effort often associated with the joy of creating. His artworks including paintings are owned not only by his natural abilities, for which he is hugely grateful but are also the effect of self-study self-improvement, and most of all hard work! His favorite techniques are pastels, oil paints, and watercolors, but he does not stray from charcoal, sepia, and sanguine as well. Pastels are very delicate tools perfect express elusive details such as facial expressions which have lately become one of his favorite pursuits. He focused on capturing feelings and emotions producing his own original style. Among his artworks, we can find both iconic, well-known faces of those known to everyone and those who belong to anonymous people he has met on his way and who have inspired him. Although he has devoted himself to the art of portraits he has never limited himself to this branch area. As a versatile artist, he was always looking for new challenges and inspirations. That let him discover his great passion to paint landscapes and made him very adept in hard and demanding but careful watercolor techniques. Within his own unique style, many of his artworks tie to those of great impressionists he creates his own, paintings but also reinterprets already existing paintings. He displays his artwork in the best-known art galleries which are associated with many artists in Poland. Some of his paintings are also on procurement. They are now decorated, in houses of private collectors in countries such as England, France, Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Taiwan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Bahrain, and Poland. This passion for active paintings dates back to 2010. He is very open to suggestions and inspiration and shares his experiences with others willingly.
