unique venueEducational travel Inquiry program
A special place called Kyoto, a Noh stage built on the site of the Hana-no-Imperial Palace
Would you like to experience a secret that has been around for 650 years?
Was Zeami the original idol boy?Starting with an interesting story about Noh, you will practice singing, experience how to walk and move in Noh, and see and wear gorgeous Noh costumes up close.He is a mysterious Noh mask and a Noh accompaniment that is as good as an orchestra.
There is something like the backbone of the Japanese people, such as straightening your collar and standing tall, which we often forget. Why not explore the business model of a culture that has continued for about 650 years since the Muromachi period? Also, rediscover the good things about Japan by experiencing the awareness and learning.
▶Unique points
Representatives (around 10 people) will actually step onto the Noh stage and learn how to stand and walk in Noh. There are also experiences of playing musical instruments and wearing gorgeous Noh costumes. Try on a Noh mask and experience how a Noh performer sees the perspective from which he dances. If the Kawamura Noh Stage is not available, it can be held on another stage or at your accommodation.
Features of this plan
Nohgaku interesting lecture
When you hear the word "Noh," what image comes to mind? "Noh" is a World Intangible Cultural Heritage that has been around for nearly 700 years since the Muromachi period.
The "Interesting Nohgaku Course" is a program that allows you to experience traditional Japanese culture and experience a time and space different from your everyday life through stories related to Nohgaku, singing practice, an introduction to masks and Japanese instruments, and watching Nohgaku accompanied by music.
At a Noh stage built on the former site of the Hana no Gosho near the Kyoto Imperial Palace, you can experience an experiential, participatory program that is different from conventional Noh appreciation events.[Program content]
