 The outermost side walls of the theatre building, forming the opposite side of these corridors, consist of rain shutters known as "madobuta" ("window lids") or "akarimado" ("lighting windows") which can be raised and lowered by stagehands to let the sunlight in and control the lighting of the theatre, in order to create atmospheric effects, such as a dark and spooky atmosphere for certain elements of ghost plays.There are areas for musicians on both stage left and right, along with a second-story room above stage left, called the "yuka", used specifically by "tayū" (narrative chanters) and shamisen players heard in plays deriving from the "jōruri" puppet theatre.This is in contrast to the theatres of Tokyo and Kamigata, which traditionally have boxes for the musicians on only one side of the stage (stage right and left respectively).
