There are three large theaters in Chuo Ward.
The Meijiza is located in Kabukiza in Ginza 4-chome, Shimbashi Enbujo in Ginza 6-chome, and 2-chome Nihonbashi Hamacho.
In general, if the same performance is performed at a theater for multiple days, the "final day" is called "Senshuraku", but it may be displayed as "Senakiraku".
(Kabukiza, September 26
)
The banner on the last day of Kabukiza was also "Senakiraku".
It seems that the use of "Aki" instead of "autumn" is not because of the "fire" in the word "autumn".
This is said to be due to the fact that playhouses in the Edo period were often troubled by fires and fire spread.
By the way, the skeleton characters that are the basis of the kanji characters "Autumn" and "Aki" are the letters
below, and are said to be the shape of insects such as inago.
"In the fall, eels and other insects occurred and ate grains and suffered damage, so they would have burned and killed insects such as eels with fire and prayed for a good harvest." (Shizuka Shirakawa, "Jyoyoji") .
It seems that the character indicating that is "ceremony". It is said that this ritual is related to autumn insect damage, so it has come to be used to mean "aki" in the season.
On the other hand, the word "Chiakiraku" was used in Chiakiraku (September 27), a sumo wrestling place held at Ryogoku Kokugikan at 1-chome Yokozuna, Sumida-ku.
Congratulations to Kakuryu.
