Learn about Japanese and global performing arts through exhibits and events

Commonly known as "Enpaku," the Tsubouchi Memorial Theatre Museum, Waseda University is one of only a handful of museums worldwide dedicated solely to theater. It was established in 1928 as a tribute to Shoyo Tsubouchi, whose 70th birthday was that same year, commemorating his 40-volume translation of the complete collection of Shakespeare which he had dedicated half his life to achieving. Located on the main campus of Waseda University, the museum displays costumes, posters, and other items covering all facets of the performing arts, both Japanese and international.

In addition to the permanent collection, the museum also hosts a rotating roster of temporary exhibits and special exhibits, as well as events related to these exhibits.
Admission is free, but if you want to join an event, it's sometimes necessary to reserve a spot online ahead of your visit to avoid missing out.
