I stepped through "Monoshiri Encyclopedia" and "Chapter 1 Walking in Chuo-ku" little by little, and wanted to keep it in a record. .
For the time being, I started with "Shintomi / Akashicho" that I knew without permission. Although we left around 3:30 today, the sunset in autumn was early, and the second half was already falling. In addition, the arrangement of photographs and inscriptions takes a considerable amount of time, and although it is a break of time for the poor elderly, it seems that it will last forever, but for the time being, it is the first time.
Needless to say, it is not possible to provide new information now, but since Monoshiri Encyclopedia does not include photos of all points, it is meaning to convey the current status of all points in principle. May be. In addition, the Chuo-ku Board of Education seems to be replacing the bulletin board with the one with the English text, but some of the following are the same as before. Don't be wrong.
Shintomiza Ruins (2-6-1, Shintomi)
"Shintomiza was a Kabuki theater that took over the Morita-za, which was founded in 1660 in Kibikicho 5-chome (currently Ginza 6-chome, west of Showa-dori).
Morita-za was led by Kanya Morita for generations, moved to Asakusa Saruwaka-cho (currently Asakusa, Taito-ku) in 1843 (1843), and changed to "Morita-za" in 1858 (1858). . In 1872, Kanya Moritaza, the 12th generation of Kanya moved to Shintomi-cho, and in 1875 it was renamed Shintomi-za.
Shintomiza gathered famous actors such as Danjuro Ichikawa, Kikugoro Onoe, and Sadanji Ichikawa and performed aggressively. . The theater is a large-scale building with a modern style and is called "Tokyo's first theater", and there were many Kabuki officials living in the surrounding area, and the whole area was a play town.
Until the Kabukiza opened in 1889 (1889), it was a central player in theater performances, but was destroyed by fire in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 (1923).
In the Nishiki-e of the Meiji era, you can see a large theater with picture signs lined up on the sea rat wall, indicating the prosperity of the past.
