El Kabuki Theater approaches the world in this health contingency and offers online and free various functions, among which stands out Kanadehon Chushingura, one of the most popular Japanese works.

The history of this work of dyes bunraku (traditional Japanese puppet theater form) from 1748 revolves around the code of Bushido (Japanese collective term for the numerous codes of honor and ideals that dictated the samurai lifestyle) and loyalty.

In 1794 the Chinese translation was made and by 1880 the translations into English, French and German appeared, which probably made it the first work of Japanese literature to be translated.

After World War II the representation of Chūshingura was prohibited because it glorified militarism and was feudal in insisting on concepts that already seemed outdated such as honor and loyalty.
