Invitation to Kabuki - Guidance for Kabuki appreciation
The Kabuki stage
Yuka (floor)
Yuka is the place on the Kamite of the stage where Takemoto is performed. A misu (bamboo curtain) is hung in front of the Yuka, and is rolled up or down depending on the scene. Reciting of Takemoto with the misu rolled up is called Degatari, and reciting with the misu rolled down is called Misu-uchi.
