Subject:Satsuma ? Noritake ? Kabuki

Hi
This is a bowl that has me confused. I have always liked Satsuma ware, especially the more ornate pieces. This bowl, unfortunately broken and repaired, is almost the best I have ever seen. But the mark translates as Hinode Shookai a Noritake firm. Also the glaze is not the crackle glaze usually seen on Satsuma, but smooth instead.
A good friend translated the characters on the lanterns and banners. Evidently the main character is the king of Hell and it is a Kabuki event.
