Good to know
◇What is Nohgaku? Noh is a solemn song-and-dance drama performed with distinctive masks and costumes. It is one of Japan’s most representative classical performing arts, with a history of over 650 years. In contrast, Kyogen is a comedic performance that emphasizes dialogue. Noh and Kyogen are traditionally performed together as a set, and collectively they are known as “Nohgaku.” Nohgaku is recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage.
