[Kabukiza] will finally be closed this month only.
Every day, many people who regret their remnants are coming in.
Even on this day, in the rainy weather, people come together. I tightened my ticket and slowly passed through the front door which I had passed many times. As soon as you enter, you will be wrapped in the air of the playhouse.
The audience's excitement spreads more than usual. In the tightly packed spectator seats, you can see the attitude of burning the last performance firmly in your eyes.
As you know, the current [Kabukiza] was built in the current style in 1925 after several renovations, and was rebuilt in 1951 after being destroyed by the war. It has long been loved by people as the origin of Japanese Kabuki culture.
Rather than Higashiginza, I think that the atmosphere of "Kibiki-cho ..." is more like an atmosphere.
Let's say goodbye for a while until the next generation of theaters opens in three years. The "stick board" (a board that beats the clap as the sound effect of the stage) set up in front of the "formal curtain" seemed to have a feeling of regret.
The play culture that shines brilliantly in Chuo-ku will continue to nurture history. Even while Kabukiza is closed, you can enjoy it at several theaters such as Shimbashi Enbujo, Meijiza, Mitsukoshi Theater, and Le Theatre Ginza.
I would like to continue to value it as a flower of urban culture.
Cherry blossoms are in full bloom in central Tokyo this weekend. I was invited cheerfully and walked to [River City] on Tsukuda Island.
A bright light pink book spreads along the Sumida River, creating a view of spring. Over the Chuo-ohashi Bridge, you can see the distant [Tokyo Sky Tree] hazy. There were cheerful family and friends around the area.
The spring season has come.
