The Oshima Noh Stage built in 1914 by OSHIMA Hisataro (1871 - 1929), the second successor, was burnt down in 1945. OSHIMA Hisami the third, however, devoted himself to developing and prevailing the Noh-gaku and he reconstructed the Noh Stage at the present place of Kounan-cho in 1948. In 1958, he began to hold the four-time-a-year regular performance ( Noh-gaku Class ) with the explanations of each program, which was unique at that time.
In 1971, the Noh stage was renovated to an authentic one. In 1997, the part of the auditorium was fully renovated.
A private stage like ours is uncommon even nowadays.
In 2003, the first floor was remodeled and the exhibit saloon "Kashinokibana" was added in where a cafeteria used to be.
