Answer 2

Groups traveled around the country performing kabuki.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Kabuki" is a popular musical drama in Japan. It is famous for having actors who wear intricate makeup and beautiful costumes. It is said that women used to perform in the early years of Kabuki; however, it was banned in 1629 due to the trouble it caused on men who fought over the Kabuki actresses. Later on, young males took their roles in the play.

During the time when Kabuki flourished with actresses, different groups/troupes were formed throughout the country owing to its success. This is the reason why Kabuki became popular and part of the national culture over time. Many of these troupes traveled together. Later on, theaters were built for the Kabuki performances.
