Overview

◆ Noh Seminar—Learn, Play and Watch

This two-part program offers participants to have a hands-on experience of the musical instruments for Noh plays in the first part, and to enjoy watching stage performance in the second part. Part One is a unique opportunity to take part in a workshop on the instruments, including the fue (flute), kotsuzumi (shoulder drum), ōtsuzumi (hip drum), and taiko (drum) with professional Noh musicians. In Part Two, participants watch the performance of Noh and Kyōgen in the Noh Theater. This is a family-friendly event for summer holidays. We hope to see you there.
