Summary

Description

English: Illustration from page 275 of THE REVOLVING-STAGE..
Caption: "THE REVOLVING-STAGE. Another peculiarity of the Japanese stage is the revolving-stage. A scene is set upon the front half of a turn-table which is flush with the rest of the stage floor; and while that scene is being acted, the carpenters are putting up the next in the rear half; and when the first scene is over, the table revolves and brings the second to view, and so the play is continued without interruption."
