Naraku (Abyss or Hell)

The naraku is a generic term used to refer to the area under the stage and the hanamichi. It takes its name from the Buddhist word for hell, naraku. This name relates to the fact that this dark and gloomy underground space is reminiscent of a Buddhist hell.

It is also the place from which the various technical operations that are part of the kabuki are performed, such as opening the lift on the circular stage, the dry well, and the suppon, and rotating the circular stage. Unlike other contemporary kabuki theaters, everything at Kanamaruza is human-powered.

The surrounding walls are made of stone with a depth of 2.5 meters, and the ground is an earthen floor. The naraku is located underground, so actors can move from the green room to the toya without being seen by audience.

奈落（深淵或地獄之意）

「奈落｣為舞臺與花道的下方空間，其名取自佛教用語「地獄｣之意。恰如其名，地下空間如同佛教世界所描寫的地獄一般，幽暗悸悚。

作為歌舞伎演出的一部分，奈落也是操控機械旋轉舞臺、空井戶以及升降臺之開關、旋轉的場所。與其他現代劇院不同，金丸座至今仍全部依靠人力操縱。

奈落為泥地，四周立有石壁，深2.5公尺。因處於地下，演員從樂屋（演員休息室）行至鳥屋（地下室與花道之間，讓演員等候亮相的空間）時，不用擔心被觀眾撞見。
