Although watching the whole documentary can be a bit dull, both teachers and students can benefit from the sections on the tea ceremony and the training of the kabuki actors. The segment on the tea ceremony is about 15 minutes which is about all that most high school students might tolerate. The parts about the father teaching his sons how to be kabuki actors is closer to 25 minutes, but the interactions between them is interesting enough to keep students' interest.
