Noh is a "comprehensive art" that combines visual, musical, and literary expression, so there are many ways to enjoy it. On stage, the characters wear elaborate Noh masks and costumes, and sing and dance to the music. Its simple yet sophisticated stage direction continues to influence many artists to this day.

Many Noh plays are derived from ancient and medieval literary works such as "The Tale of Genji," "The Tale of the Heike," and "The Tales of Ise." Through the lyrical lyrics based on these masterpieces, Noh offers deep insight into Japanese culture. Many plays are also set in Kyoto, Japan's ancient capital.

Noh stories unfold through themes common to classic theatrical works that have been passed down through the ages and cultures: compassion, sadness, regret, anger, and joy. These universal themes continue to resonate deeply with audiences today.
