This is a Noh performance event held at Kyoto's Noh Theater. Why not create a memorable memory of your trip with a Noh experience that may change your perspective? This special performance will be fully translated into English for foreign visitors to Japan. Noh is a form of "comprehensive art" that combines visual, musical, and literary elements, and its artistry can be appreciated in a variety of ways. On stage, performers wear elegant Noh masks and costumes, and perform chants and dances to music. Noh's simple yet sophisticated stage expression continues to inspire many artists today.

Noh, a traditional performing art, has been designated a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, along with other forms of art, including Kabuki. A special Noh performance, "Tokage Noh," is held only once a year at Kofuku-ji Temple in Nara, the sacred ground of Noh. This solemn performance, which fuses Buddhism and Noh, still retains a strong religious ritual feel, with applause being discouraged and viewing prohibited from the front. This event will feature a commentary by Petko Slavov, a PhD in Noh research, and Noh expert Yoshie Yamamoto, held in the main building of Yoshikien Garden, a cultural property normally closed to the public. After learning about Noh in a space steeped in history and tranquility, enjoy a unique evening experiencing a magical performance. Note: The photos of the Noh performance are different from those shown.

「能」という伝統芸能を知っている日本人は多いと思いますが、それを実際に観たことがある人は少ないと思います。 私自身もこれまでの人生で観能の経験は一度しかありません。 それが高校生の時に学校行事で訪れた「観能の夕べ」でした。 今回は友人が「観能の夕べ」に参加した話を聞き、大人になった今改めて観る能の舞台は如何なるものか、と思い、参加した次第です。 はじめに大学の教員さんからの解説があり、その後、狂言、能、という順番で舞台がありました。 はじめの解説があったため、何を言っているか理解するのが難しい謡の声も、なんとなくこの場面はどういう場面なのか、を感じながら観ることができました。 様々なテクノロジーが生活を便利にしていく今の時代に、忘れ去られそうになっている伝統芸能が体験できるのはとても素晴らしい機会だと思いました。 こういった体験が、多くの人の糧となるように祈っています。
