Kaburenjo - Kaburenjo

Japanese: 歌舞練場 - かぶれんじょう
Kaburenjo - Kaburenjo
It is a place for geisha and maiko in Kyoto's entertainment district to practice singing, dancing and music, and a venue for them to perform. In 1872 (Meiji 5), the Miyako Odori dance, which was held as a sideshow in support of the Kyoto Exposition, was so well received that the Gion Kobu entertainment district established a Kaburenjo on the west side of Shijo Hanamikoji Sagaru the following year, and has continued to hold the Miyako Odori every April ever since. In 1913, it moved to the east, and in 1935, it moved to its current location at 570 Minami-gawa Gion-cho, Higashiyama Ward. Inspired by this, other entertainment districts followed suit, and began to have their own Kaburenjo within their own brothels.

京都の花街にある芸妓,舞妓のための歌舞音曲の練習場であり,その発表のための会場である。1872年(明治5),京都博覧会の協賛の余興として行われた〈都をどり〉が大好評であったので,翌73年,四条花見小路下ル西側に祇園甲部花街が歌舞練場を設け,以後継続的に毎年4月〈都をどり〉を開催するようになった。1913年には東側に,35年に現在の東山区祇園町南側570に移った。それに刺激されて,他の花街もつづいて,それぞれの廓内に歌舞練場を持つようになった。
