Meijiza
(From the Meijiza official website)
The history of Meijiza dates back to 1873 (1873).
Its predecessor was the so-called "play of three brothers" by Kakuzo Tomita, Fukunosuke, and Kintaro, who were in Ryogoku Hirokoji (Nishi Ryogoku). In this era, there was no name, and it was commonly called a blue sky hut because it was not possible to perform in rainy weather in a playhouse with Yoshizuri.
In September 1872 (1872), performances other than Sanza (Nakamura-za, Ichimura-za, Morita-za = former Morita-za) were permitted by the Tokyo Prefectural Ordinance. Yoshibe Suzuki, who was the gold lord of the "play of the three brothers", applied for the theater, and this is recognized.
The following year, on April 28, 1873 (1873), a theater was set up on the south side of the current Hisamatsu Police Station and opened as Kishoza. This is the beginning of Meijiza.
