Description
This is a wooden model kit of a building or other structure.
In the Edo period, kabuki theaters were called "playhouses."
The three major kabuki theaters recognized by the shogunate, the "Three Edo Theaters" (Nakamura-za, Ichimura-za, and Morita-za), had official "turret licenses" and were allowed to perform in the city of Edo.
The first playhouse in Edo is said to be the "Saruwaka-za," built in Kyobashi by Saruwaka Kanzaburo (the first Nakamura Kanzaburo) in 1624.
Playhouses in the Edo period were not just places of entertainment, but also a source of popular culture.
The popular phrases and costume designs that were born here had a major impact on Edo townspeople's culture.
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 made of transparent stickers, washi paper, and color printing that bring out the texture of the wood, faithfully recreating every detail.
The lantern part is made of red pearl beads, giving it a three-dimensional and gorgeous finish.
Includes a light bulb with a built-in light inside the main body.
