Nohgaku Kenkyukai (Nohgaku Research Association)
Everyone’s a beginner!
Would you like to experience traditional performing arts?
Let’s dress up in a cool kimono and show it off to everyone☆!
Nohgaku” is often thought of as a formal performance, but it is not! It’s a lot of fun. Please feel the spirit of Japan by experiencing traditional performing arts. There is drama here! We all started at university, so it is no surprise that we are all beginners! So please feel free to come and observe.
Once a month, a Noh actor from Kyoto comes to our school to give us practice. We usually practice chanting and shimai, the fundamentals of Nohgaku, and when we reach a certain level of proficiency, we also practice the musical instruments (kotsuzumi, taiko drums, etc.).
Everyone is active and lively, and the atmosphere is congenial. We hope you will try to learn the “arts” at the university.
