Ye loves to explore Japanese culture and inculcate it in his life once back home. His fan page on Twitter uploaded a photo of him as the rapper was caught sleeping during a Kabukiza show that he attended with Bianca Censori. He could be seen slumped low in his chair, with a black face mask over his mouth, and his eyes closed, as Censori watched the event intently.

Kabukiza is one of the oldest Japanese theatres for performing arts. According to TokyoTourists, it can be traced back to the Edo period and mostly consists of male performers. The art form has recently become a hit amongst international tourists. Now one cannot say whether he fell asleep out of enjoyment or boredom, but he was enthusiastic enough to attend it. He even got his LA home with Kim Kardashian, designed by Japanese artist Tadao Ando, who was to design his Malibu mansion as well.

Kanye West infamously brought Japanese culture to his 46th birthday party in the USA recently. The tradition is called Nyotaimori, wherein sushi is served on the body of a n*ked woman or man at parties. It is an ancient tradition, and people could be seen enjoying it at Ye’s party as well.

Of course, it was not taken kindly back in the USA, as people criticized him for it. But for the entertainer, that is likely an art form that he enjoyed. As for his falling asleep at Kabukiza, Kim Kardashian would state how he can fall asleep anywhere, contrary to her crying herself to sleep.
