On June 1st and 2nd, 2018, the 69th Annual Takigi Noh performance took place at Heian Shrine in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan. Tragic Hero: The Life of Minamoto no Yoshitsune was the theme of this year's performance, and with this dramatic topic the audience was shown scenes from the legendary warrior's childhood in Kyoto through his campaign in the Genpei War and his unfortunate end by betrayal. With this story-like theme, the 2018 Takigi Noh was particularly easy to follow and enjoy, even for a complete beginner! Get a taste of noh, the oldest style of Japanese theater still practiced today, through selected scenes from the plays Hashi Benkai, Eboshi Ori, Funa Benkei, Kurama Tengu, Giō, and Shōzon performed by the Kanze and Kongo schools of noh, with assistance from actors from the more comedic Ogura school of kyogen.

Noh Theatre- Selection of Clips
Noh is Japan's classic dance drama that also combines music and poetry into one art, each contributiion of equal value to the others. It developed during the Muromachi period (1333-1568) and was mainly based in the larger cities of Tokyo, Osaka, and the cultural capital, Kyoto. It is performed by professional artists, mostly male, who have passed down the practice though their family members for numerous generations. Watching noh is a bit like watching the tea ceremony, an aesthetic experience, full of experience under the influence of Zen buddhism.
Noh includes a musical accompaniment with dance, and the actors perform in a highly measured style. They wear beautiful costumes and some superbly carved masks. The plays are stripped down, the stage is simple, the actors performing on a bare stage in front of a wall with a painted pine tree. The texts are considered works of profound beauty, the highest form of literature. Noh has fascinated Japanese and westerners alike for its immense grace and artistry.

Noh Theater in Japan Japanology 能 Nō
Noh (能 Nō), derived from the Sino-Japanese word for skill or talent, is a major form of classical Japanese musical drama that has been performed since the 14th century. Developed by Kan'ami and his son Zeami, it is the oldest major theatre art that is still regularly performed today.[1] Traditionally, a Noh program includes five Noh plays with comedic kyōgen plays in between; an abbreviated program of two Noh plays and one kyōgen piece has become common in Noh presentations today. An okina (翁) play may be presented in the very beginning especially during New Years, holidays, and other special occasions
