 Also, during the early years of the Allied Occupation of Japan, the occupying authorities banned kabuki as feudalistic and detrimental to the public morals, though by 1947 this ban was lifted.Other traditional forms of theater, such as noh and "bunraku", seen as less flamboyant and violent than kabuki, received less attention from Occupation censors.Kabuki scholars credit Takechi's innovative productions of the kabuki classics with bringing about a rebirth of interest in the kabuki in the Kansai region after this low point in kabuki history.
