*''Built: [[1895]]-[[1896]]''
*''Japanese'': 御園座 ''(Misono-za)''
The Misono-za, first built in [[1895]], is a [[kabuki]] theatre in [[Nagoya]], and one of the major kabuki theatres in the country. Over the years, it has seen many major events, including the ''[[shumei|shûmei]]'' (name succession) ceremonies of numerous famous and popular actors.
The theatre celebrated its official opening performances in [[1897]]. It originally bore a modern facade in emulation of that of the [[Meiji-za]] in [[Tokyo]], and originally held 1,516 audience members. The theatre was renovated in 1935, destroyed by Allied bombing in March 1945, rebuilt in October 1947, lost in a fire in February 1961, and rebuilt once again in August 1963. The current building has a wholly modern office building facade.
