Shintomi-za Theatre
In October 1872, the Morita-za Theatre moved from Asakusa Saruwaka-machi to Shintomi-cho, site of the former Shin (New) Shimabara pleasure quarter. The theatre was later renamed Shintomi-za. Unfortunately it burned down in 1876. The building in this photograph is the new theatre built in June 1878. A modern theatre without a yagura tower or hanging signboards, it had gas lighting inside for the first time in Japan. Taken in the second decade of the Meiji Period (1878-1888).==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐32‐0]
