    The naraku refers to areas beneath the main stage, hanamichi stage and other theatre components. This is where the seri, mawaributai and other mechanisms are installed. Back in the days when such equipment was moved by human power, the naraku was an extremely dark and damp place that reminded people of hell, so it was called naraku, which means “hell” in Buddhism.
