The stage is at the far end of the room and has a roof that extends out over it. A man in traditional Japanese clothing stands on the stage. The ceiling has rows of lanterns hanging from it. There are red support beams throughout the theater. The walls are white with sliding panels. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of brown, beige, and red.
