It's Japanese Alice with Tweedledum and Tweedledee!
(Pics of Japanese alice:
[link] )

The two are lion brothers from a Kabuki show called "Ren Jishi" 連獅子 (a string of lions)
Holding side hair (mane) is one of patterns of Renji-shi.
The audience is also Kabuki characters, by the way.

more about 連獅子 just for Kabuki lovers

Ren Jishi is a story about a father lion and its child.
Probably that story's known all over the world:
Father lions kick their children down into cliffs, and the children try to go up back to become their true children.
They play the story in a Kabuki dance show.
This show's often played by kabuki- actors who are a father and a son.
The father lion has white hair, and the child red hair.
There're normally only two lions, white and red, in the stage.
However, Ren-jishi is now Nakamura family's specialty and Nakamura Kanzaburou has two sons,
so there're three lions, a white lion and two red lions, in their stage.

So I meant the two in the pic were Nakamura brothers.*^^*b
Anyway, Renjishi's dance is pretty cool. I recommend the show!
