Suehiro-za (Nagoya)

The Suehiro-za (末広座) was a kabuki theatre in Nagoya, central Japan.

[2] In Nagoya of the Meiji era at that time a number of theatres existed, such as the Chitose-za (千歳座) in Minamikuwana-machi (南桑名町), Shinmori-za (新守座) in Motoshige-chō (本重町), Onu-za (音羽座) in Minamifushimi-chō (南伏見町), Hoso-za (宝生座) in Ōsu, and Misono-za.

[8] The building was bought by Shochiku, a cinema chain which has its roots in kabuki production, and converted into a movie theatre in 1927.

Under its new name Shochiku-za (松竹座) it became one of the leading cinemas in town and was also used for revue shows.
