In 15 year of Meiji era, the decree concerning public entertainment activities was promulgated. Once licenced as public theaters, the fabricated play-houses (Bank) in reclaimed land or vacant ground were consolidated. As a result, both play-houses of Kamaji and Nakamo were combined into one house. Around the 20th year of the Miji era downtown Naha had three large-scale theaters - Kyuyo Theater, Naka Theater and Okinawa Theater - where dramas transformed skillfully from Kabuki or foreign dramas were performed. About the 40th year of Meiji era the general public were anxious to see the plays in the Okinawan dialect. The so-called Okinawan operas became very popular. During Taisho era, the theater companies travelled to local areas and foreign countries to make performances. In the earlier period of the Showa era, historical dramas of the history of Okinawa appeared. |
