Kabuki theater memorabilia on display

Memorabilia from the historic Kabuki-za theater has gone on display in Tokyo. The theater, famous for its elaborate facade, was a popular attraction in the Ginza district before being razed earlier this year to be rebuilt as a skyscraper.

200 items, including lobby furniture and roof tiles, are being displayed in a department store in central Tokyo.

The theater's famed runway has been replicated using a curtain and wooden floor boards from the old building.

Visitors can view the nameplates of Kabuki actors who took part in the theater's final performance in April. Photographs of 19th and 20th century Kabuki actors are also being exhibited.

The new theater is scheduled for completion in 2013.
