    [Program content]

    ① Noh lecture
    In response to the comment, ``It seems difficult...do you understand?'', we provide easy-to-understand and interesting explanations.

    “That’s right!” I was convinced!


    ②Singing lesson

    The lesson begins with a greeting that begins and ends with a bow.

    here we go! Let's all express the scenery and situations of the story in song.

    ➂Let's learn about Noh masks!

    Men are also called ``Omote'' even though they are ``Noodles''.

    By tilting the face and creating subtle shadows, you can express your emotions.

    You can feel the expressive power of ``mask'' up close.

    ④Noh music workshop and experience

    Experience the world of Japanese musical instruments that you don't usually have the chance to see or hear.

    Let's pretend to be a performer and play the drum!


    ⑤Experience wearing Noh costumes (representative only)

    After seeing the gorgeously woven and embroidered Noh costumes, you can try on the kimono.

    Let's actually walk around wearing a Noh mask!

    I wonder if I can walk well wearing a Noh mask because the visibility is narrow?


    ⑥Nohgaku viewing (about 10 minutes)

    Let's enjoy Noh using all five senses!

    *Some changes may occur depending on the set time.
