About

The Konpira Grand Theatre (Konpira Ōshibai), also known as the Kanamaru-za, is a restored kabuki theatre in Kotohira, Kagawa, on the island of Shikoku, Japan. It was originally constructed in 1835, and is the oldest kabuki theatre in Japan. Kabuki plays are performed for one month each year, usually in April.
