Take the escalator to Hibikicho Square.
"Ginning wood" is a sawmill that we call now. When I was a child, adults called Kibikicho instead of Higashiginza.
On the way down by the escalator, there was a poster by Koshiro Matsumoto. Koshiro Matsumoto is active not only in the Kabuki stage but also in a wide range of fields. (Koshiro Matsumoto and others seem to have the same name as the third generation, but the interview was in November 2017. )
There are souvenir shops lined up here in Kiboricho Square. The information is posted on the Internet. The shop here has casters and is all moved at the end of business and literally becomes a square. This square is provided as a temporary evacuation site for those who cannot return home in the event of a disaster. It can accommodate 3,000 people together with the audience seats, and three days of water and emergency food are stored.
<<<<<<<<< there is a large Japanese lantern and a phoenix. >>>>>>
When you take the elevator from the basement to the 4th floor, you will find the entrance to the Makumi seat and models of successive Kabukiza.
<<<<<<The first Kabukiza exterior is Western style >>>>>>
<<<<<<<< Second Kabukiza Theater >>>>>>>
<<<<<<<Third Phase Kabukiza Theater >>>>>>>
The exterior of the first Kabukiza seems to have been Western-style architecture. It is said that the style of Kabukiza was established in the third generation and it has reached the present. I've visited the previous Kabukiza several times.
I climb the Goemon stairs and go to the 5th floor, but it seems that there is a phoenix on the roof tiles here. Please look for it.
<<<<<<The large roof of Kabukiza Theater >>>>>
On the 5th floor, a rooftop garden is located on the large roof of the Kabukiza Theater.
<<<<<< The tiles of the previous Kabukiza Theater are used. >>>>>>>
The onigawara of the former Kabukiza Theater was set up, and the former clay roof tile was used at the feet. onigawara is located at the tip of the roof and is intended for protection against misfortune and decoration.
When you come to the rooftop garden, please visit Kotobuki Tsukido. This is a Japanese tea specialty store started by "Maruyama Nori Store". Matcha sweets are a gem that stands out for the scent of tea.
