About

The Konpira Grand Theatre (金毘羅大芝居 Konpira Ōshibai), also known as the Kanamaru-za (金丸座), 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.
