Description
“Noh” and “Kyogen” are collectively known as Nogaku. Noh is a performing art unique to Japan, said to be the world’s oldest form of drama still performed today. It was also Japan’s first traditional performing art to receive Intangible World Cultural Heritage recognition from UNESCO. Kyogen plays are comparatively dialogue-oriented, and tend to be comedies based on the everyday lives of the common people.
