This is the view from the balcany of the Kabuki theater, which can hold more than six hundred people, who would all have come in traditional kimono and sat on the floor, not in seats. You can see the outline of the circular revolving portion of the stage, as well as two posts, marking the location of trap doors. There are no other Kabuki theaters quite like this in all of Japan. Built, paid for, and filled by the citizens of Uchiko, made wealthy by eleaborate candle making.
