 A month-long program has been produced every spring since, featuring major Tokyo/Osaka actors.Much of the 1995 film "Sharaku", set in 1790s Edo and revolving around the life of "ukiyo-e" artist Sharaku, was filmed at the Konpira Theatre, which stood in for the no longer extant Nakamura-za.The structure's frontage is about 80 feet long, or 13 "ken" and 2 "shaku" in the now no longer used traditional Japanese units of measurement.
