Abstract
This paper examines the rebuilt Noh Theater at the Peers' Club. This Noh Theater first was built at 1915 in Imperial Court, and then was rebuilt at the Peers' Club at 1917. When the Peers' Club was moved from Uchiyamasitamachi to Sannenmachi at 1927, only the Noh Theater was moved to new site and was rebuilt, designed by Sonechuujou Kenchiku Jimusho. There are three characteristics in the rebuilt Noh Theater. The first, Noh stage was layout just in front of main building, and Goranjo was put in the center of main building. The second, the plan of Kenjo was symmetry of the axis of stage and main building. The third, top light was set up at the roof of Kenjo. I analyze these characteristics by using the new source design plans which I found. At last, I analyze how the Shouwa Emperor used the Noh Theater, in order to declare the relation of royal activities with the Noh Theater design.
