Knit Cap Theater “How Saturdays Were Spent”
2026.2.20 (FRI) – 2.22 (SUN)
Theatre North Hall
Depicting early Showa-era Kyoto through the newspaper 'Saturday'.
At that time, coffee shops around Kyoto carried a newspaper called 'Saturday'.
Its publisher was Raitaro Saito, a pool actor in the studio system at Shochiku Studios.
Amidst the escalating war on the continent, he boldly voiced opinions critical of the government,
blending commoner perspectives and humor.
Centered on the activities of Raitaro Saito, this work depicts how individuals connected
and lived their lives within the historical context of the 1930s.

Knit Cap Theater
A Kyoto-based theatre company that creates imagination-rich works
by weaving together a wide range of stage expressions
—drama, storytelling, dance, live performances of traditional ethnic instruments,
song, and magical elements such as masks and fabrics—with the power of words.
They continue to create with the concept of “Galapagos Entertainment” close to their hearts.
Founded in 1999. The company’s name is taken from the song “Knit Cap Man” by Moonriders.
