What is noh?

Noh is a traditional performing art bringing together poetry, chant, dance, and music, as well as gorgeous costumes and masks. Originating in the 14th century, its repertory and stage conventions have been refined throughout history to reach today’s form.

Discover Noh in Kyoto is an organization devoted to introducing and promoting noh from multicultural perspectives.

*The exhibition is hosted by the Katayamake Nohgaku Kyomai Preservation Foundation
