Meijiza is the theater with the longest history in Tokyo, celebrating its 140th anniversary in April next year. I'm the first in 19 years since the performance dropped after the rebuilding in 1993. At the lobby gallery on the 2nd floor, the history since Kishoza is being exhibited with photo panels as the "Meijiza 140 Years Exhibition". I took a picture with permission. The work that premiered in November 1885, when the Chitoseza opened, is "4,000 Ryo" currently being performed in theater.
After a quick review of the history of Meijiza, it was built on the south side of the Hisamatsu Police Station as of 1873 and opened as Kishoza.
Meiji 12 (1879) Hisamatsu-za, Meiji 18 (1885) Chitose-za, Meiji 26 (1893) Meijiza
Performers and performances of that era are introduced in photos, so you can enjoy it easily. If you come to the theater, please take a look. Danjuro Ichikawa appeared in September 1896 (Meiji 29) and was full for 25 days. At that time, it was said that the soba bills were placed in a large bag and distributed, and that today's large bag was the beginning of today.
By the way, the evening part of this month is the passage of "Tokubee Tenjiku New Story" (now Yobanashi). When the third generation Sarunosuke revived and performed "Tokubee Tenjiku Korea Story", which was a success in the north and south, he interwovened Kodaira Obata's ghost story based on "Korea Story". Tokubee Tenjiku was a real person from the Edo era who traveled to Tjiku (India) during the Kanei era under Ryoi Suminokura, and after returning to Japan, he gained a reputation after listening and writing his experience. The premiere was in Kawarasaki-za in 1804, and it was said that the early replacement of Hatsuse Matsusuke was so vivid that it became popular as Christian fairy and the magistrate came to the inspection immediately. (It's also a story that it's an advertisement for a hut.) Sarunosuke of the day, the head who jumped into the spring water is the upper messenger from the flower path, and the ghost of Kodaira plays many times of early change to the evil woman's Otowa happily and happily. The neighbor said, "I'll make you happy here." The last one is the highlight of the air ride. I'm sorry! I wish I had a seat on the second floor! I think it was at this time. You're late. In the lunch section, "Shinjo Reika" and "Spider thread Azusa string" (Yumihari Kumono and Azusa no) are also replaced early.
