1909 Color Print Rokku Theater Street District Asakusa Tokyo Japan Kabuki XGQC7 XGEA4 75 x 7 inchesThis is an original 1909 color print of the Rokku, or Theater Street district of Asakusa in Tokyo, Japan. This famous neighborhood was reputed to have been the site of outdoor Kabuki theater and troupes performing to promote their theaters and cinema houses.
