What is Nihon Buyo? What is Noh?
For those who wish to see, experience, and learn about traditional performing arts. Tokyo in fall, when art comes alive.
Noh is a comprehensive art performed through dance, gesture, song, musical accompaniment, and interludes known as kyogen. Experience the multifaceted appeal of Noh with former Takarazuka star Kei Takashiro through the famous play Takasago. Then, Yamashina Yaemon discusses the history of the Kanze family, while Saburota Kanze discusses the future of Noh, letting you feel the depth and joy of Noh.
This innovative new Ginza-style program is made possible by the fact that the Kanze family possessed an official residence in Ginza during the Edo shogunate.
