About Shibaigoya
In the Edo period, kabuki theaters were called "shibaigoya."
The three major kabuki theaters recognized by the shogunate, the Nakamura-za, Ichimura-za, and Morita-za, were the "Three Edo Theaters," and had official "turret licenses" that allowed them to perform in the city of Edo.
The first shibaigoya in Edo is said to be the "Saruwaka-za," built in Kyobashi in 1624 by Saruwaka Kanzaburo (the first Nakamura Kanzaburo).
The playhouses of the Edo period were not just places of entertainment, but also places of dissemination of culture among the common people. The popular phrases and costume designs that were born here had a great influence on the culture of the townspeople of Edo.
About the kit
The vibrant bustle of Edo has been reproduced in a palm-sized version.
The exterior walls are mainly made of cypress wood, and the signs are faithfully reproduced down to the smallest detail using transparent stickers, washi paper, and color printing that bring out the texture of the wood. The lantern part is made of red pearl beads, giving it a three-dimensional and gorgeous finish. Comes with a light bulb built into the main body.
