SAN MATEO — Every first Sunday of the month, San Mateo Kabuki Group watches kabuki videos at the Japanese American Community Center, 415 S. Claremont St.

On Dec. 7 at 1:30 p.m., the group will watch “Tatatoki,” written by Kawatake Mokuami in 1884.

The 9th Hojo Takatoki (played by Nakamura Hashinosuke) is utterly infatuated with drinking and women. His political power is unreasonably outraged. His vassals are perplexed.

One day his mansion is plunged into darkness and a fierce storm breaks out. A number of long-nosed goblins then appear one by one before the pensive Takatoki.

The cast also includes Kataoka Takatoro, Kataoka Ainosuke, Bando Yajuro, and Bando Kamesaburo.

The group’s annual membership fee is $25. For more information, contact Mika Bourbonnais (for Japanese speakers) at (650) 341-6849 or Yoko Anderson (for English speakers) at (650) 341-5872.
