Shintomi-za Theatre

After Kabuki-za opened in 1889, Shintomi-za gradually lost its appeal. Renamed Fukaya-za in 1892 and Miyako-za in 1896, it again adopted the name of Shintomi-za in 1898. Although popular for many years with theatre aficionados, it was converted to a movie theatre of the same name after the Great Earthquake of Kanto of 1923. This is a business card-sized photograph taken in the mid-Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number71‐20‐0]

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]
