COMMENTS: The most striking pose in Kabuki theatre is the “nirami” (mie) or crosseyed glare. In Japanese, the mie pose is said to be "cut" by the actor. This glare marks a highpoint of the performance. It's like the climax in a movie, all attention is on the lead actor - the camera zooms in and fixes on their expression. It is no wonder that many artists are depicted cutting this crosseyed glare in their Yakusha-e or actor prints.
