Rare original script book from the famous Takarazuka Revue, dated 1952, featuring performances by the Snow troupe (Yukigumi) at the Takarazuka Grand Theater. Purchased in West Virginia, USA.

The cover shows an otokoyaku (a female performer in a male role), one of the signature elements of the all-female Takarazuka Theater. Inside you’ll find beautiful vintage photos of the cast, period advertisements, stage set illustrations, and the full vertical-format script for the production.

A charming and culturally rich piece for collectors, theater enthusiasts, or fans of Japanese vintage design and performance history.
