"Then actors will emerge from there to create the climax of the comedy."
As Ito Tamonsuke finished speaking, everyone saw the stage below the samurai standing on the stage suddenly rotate.
"That's a revolving stage, and it also rotates because of the people pushing it from below." Kataoka Renka continued to explain to everyone.
“And these are all operated in a traditional way.”
Ito Tamonsuke led everyone to the underground entrance of the stage while speaking: "The mechanisms we just saw are all operated by people down here.
The area under the stage was called "Naraku" because the drainage and ventilation were not very good in the past, and the backstage staff had a very hard time. It was even considered hell, so it was called "Naraku".
"That passage over there is called the Flower Road!"
Emi, who was standing by, happily put her arm around Conan and introduced him to a room covered by a curtain opposite the stage: "The actors all go from that small room through the audience seats to the stage to prepare for their performances!"
In other words, the stage of the entire room is in a "T" shape, and the audience seats are divided into two by the "flower path", but this also gives the audience the opportunity to get close to the actors.

That's the machine actors use to perform in mid-air.
Even the ceiling is made of bamboo grids, creating effects like falling snowflakes or scattered cherry blossoms.
"It's amazing, it's like going back a hundred years!" Sonoko exclaimed as she listened to Ito Tamonsuke's introduction.
"It's more than a hundred years." Ito Tamonsuke said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this 'Kinmaru-za' was built during the Tenpo era with the approval of the shogunate.

Ito Tamanosuke and his partner will perform on this stage with a history of over a hundred years.
“When I think about being able to perform here as an actor, I feel it is an incredible honor.”
Kataoka Renka's eyes were full of longing and expectation. It was obviously a great honor for them to be able to perform here.
