After entering the side street near Tsukiji Honganji Temple, there is a trace of [Tsukiji Small Theater] in a corner of the NTT DATA building.
[Tsukiji Small Theater] was established in 1924 by people who want to create a new theater base in the wave of reconstruction following the Great Kanto Earthquake of the previous year.
It was the first permanent theater of a new drama in Japan. Since then, it is said that at that time, he continued to transmit ambitious theater culture, including avant-garde content.
In Chuo-ku, there were not only many theaters, including the Kabukiza Theater, which was temporarily closed this year, but there was also a playhouse that forms the center of Kabuki that flourished during the Edo period.
The times have passed, and the history of chanson and jazz remains firmly in Chuo-ku.
It is a land that has supported the development of urban entertainment since ancient times to the present day.
I would like to visit more about the charm of Chuo-ku.
