The troupe was formed in the late Heian period under the patronage of the Imperial Court, the families of the deceased, and temples and shrines as a professional group of performers of performing arts such as Sarugaku, Dengaku, and Biwa hoshi, as well as merchants and industrialists. Based in the Noh Theatre of the MOA Museum of Art, Atamiza was established as a place where Atami residents could enjoy high-quality performing arts and music, from both the East and the West, including traditional performing arts, classical music, and jazz.
