Established in 1925 as Shinbutai-gekijō (新舞臺劇場), this was primarily a venue for traditional opera and performance. Screening films became more common in the 1950s, and the theater continued to prosper into the 1960s. It closed in 1973 due to strong competition from new theaters in town.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
