Kabuki is performed on a large, revolving stage. Stage devices are common like trapdoors for surprise entrances and scenic backdrops for more vivid style.​ Kamite is stage left- It is where the important and high-ranking actors are. Shimote is stage right-It is where lower-in-rank characters are. The actors combine form, color, and sound into one performance. Aragoto is a rough and scary style of acting that involves exaggerated, intense, and dramatic make-up​.
