Tsukiji Shōgekijō, Theatre and theatrical troupe in Kyōbashi-ku, Japan.
The Tsukiji Shōgekijō theatre featured a proscenium arch design that separated the audience from performers, marking a departure from traditional Japanese theatre layouts.
Founded in June 1924, the Tsukiji Shōgekijō operated until March 1945, when it was destroyed during World War II air raids on Tokyo.
The theatre merged Western architectural elements with Japanese performance traditions, creating a space that influenced the development of modern Japanese drama.
Located in central Tokyo, the theatre served as a primary venue for experimental productions and housed a resident theatrical company dedicated to innovative performances.
The theatre introduced a direct ticket sales system, eliminating the traditional practice of purchasing admission through neighboring teahouses.
