Abstract
The Tsukiji Little Theater, located in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, was inaugurated in 1924. This theater was the inaugural permanent theater in Japan dedicated to the presentation of shingeki (new theater), which was modeled after Western spoken theater. It was also equipped with a theater company. Previous studies have predominantly regarded the Tsukiji Little Theater as a theater or theater company that staged plays by contemporary Japanese playwrights in Tokyo, and it is believed to have presented the works of prewar Japanese theater artists.
However, the Tsukiji Little Theater is noteworthy for its commitment to international theater exchange, evidenced by its presentation of numerous translated plays, its expansion beyond Tokyo to other cities, and its active engagement with theater artists from various countries. This commitment has had a significant impact on the development of Japanese theater in the postwar era. A reexamination of the activities developed at the Tsukiji Little Theater is imperative, one that considers the broader spatial and temporal context.
