Kabuki-za Theater 2009.7.27




Kabuki is one of the most important traditional performance arts in Japan (Others include Nihon-Buyo (Japanese dance), Noh, Kyogen and Bunraku).

The name of Kabuki-za Theater, off Ginza's central spot, stresses that it is the Mecca of Kabuki. The theater is run by an entertainment company Shochiku and current building was built in 1951, after the World War 2.

The theater is planned to be rebuilt. They will preserve current theater as part of a large modern complex.

The countdown board, just in front of the entrance, tells the number of days before temporal closure.
