It means the first opening of a newly built or renovated theater. In earlier times, theater roofs were covered in wooden shingles (kokerabuki), and completion came only after clearing wooden chips remaining on the roof and scaffolding. Thus, “kokera-otoshi” apparently came to mean a first opening, though its etymology is unclear. Writing it as “kokera-buki-otoshi” is incorrect.
劇場が新築あるいは改築して初開場することをいう。 古くは劇場の屋根を柿葺き（こけらぶき）にしていたが，屋根や足場に残る柿(木片)を払い落としてはじめて完成に至った。 そこで柿落しが初開場を意味するようになったようであるが，語源ははっきりしない。 〈柿葺落し〉と書くのは誤り。
