Thematic Exhibition The World of Noh Drama: Gods, Men, Women, Madness, and Demons

Nohgaku (commonly known as Noh) is a form of traditional Japanese theater with a 600-year history. The Noh repertoire is said to consist of more than two hundred scripts, which are classified into the five categories of God, Man, Woman, Madness, and Demon plays. This exhibition presents an arrangement of masks, costumes, and stage props for each category of play from the collections that were handed down in the Owari Tokugawa family. We hope that you enjoy this glimpse of the brilliance of the Noh stage.
