New Kabuki Theater @Ginza: Sept.8, 2013














New Kabuki Theater opened in April this year. I visited there for the first time.

The new theater has 29-story modern building in the backyards, but it keeps traditional tiled-roof building in the front part. It is 4 stories high.







Advanced technologies are used in the stage sets. Spectators’ seats are more spacious.


Classic dramas are often played at Kabuki Theater. Today, I watched a newly-written play titled “Onmyoji”, a mysterious story in the Heian era (794-1192). Many young Kabuki players joined the project.

Shops and other facilities are renovated. The basement floor was developed as a cultural and shopping center of Kabuki.
