Shin Kabuki Theatre Relocates

This is the old Kabuki theatre in Namba, Osaka. It closed a while back and i was afraid i would miss the chance to take some pictures. It's quite a nice old building. So i took these pictures a couple of months ago. I went by the other day and the building was still there, so i guess they're not i a rush to take it down just yet. The new Kabuki theatre is located just a block away from our apartment in the new Yufura shopping centre at Uehommachi-6-Chome.

The new one, which is really hard to take a picture of due to being built into the shopping centre.

Symian is: probably still not going to go see a kabuki show, even if it's only a block away.
