"Noh" is one of the oldest forms of traditional Japanese performing arts, even compared to others like "Kabuki" and "Kyogen". "Noh" is a musical drama performed through the singing and dialogue of the actors and the playing of musical instruments. On stage, a few actors perform dramas about love, family, and other themes. The actors wear "masks" to express the emotions of their characters, a unique method of expression that encapsulates Japanese culture and philosophy. What ideas lie behind its creation and techniques? In this content, we will learn about the culture of Noh through the NHK Japanology Plus program by Japan's public broadcaster, NHK.
