Misono-za is a theater in Nagoya that hosts kabuki and Western stage plays. Kengo Kuma's office designed the building that opened in 2018. The article gives no address or style for it.
The original was built in the 1800s, and an 1895 brick-and-mortar building in Western Renaissance style was later destroyed in the wartime bombing of Nagoya. A new structure went up in the 1970s, and its last performance was in March 2013. Performances moved to Chunichi Theatre in the interim.
The 2018 exterior uses white metal stripes that evoke the traditional namako wall pattern. Curtains, including Flowers at Mount Fuji by Kataoka Tamako sponsored by Matsuzakaya, hang inside. Downstairs restaurants open during intermissions.
