[Noh & Kyogen] |
|
 |
Noh is the oldest of
Japan's theatrical arts. It is a comprehensive art
form, embodying not only music, dance and literary
art, but also sculpture, dyeing and weaving, and
construction arts.
 |
The distinctive
feature of noh is its restraint, in contrast
to kobuki's extrovert liveliness. It is this
feature of noh which has led to it being likened
to 'moving sculpture'. |
All the actors in noh are male, and women's parts
are played by men. The main protagonist is called
shite, and the supporting actors are called waki.
The shite cover their faces with special masks.

 |
| Chujo: court noble |
Hannya: female demon |
Ko-omote: young woman |
Kobeshimi: male demon |
The only props used in noh are small and simple,
since noh relies heavily on symbolism for its effect.
TSUKURIMONO: PROPS

Torii: shrine gate
|
Itaya: house
|
Fune: boat
|
Kuruma: wagon
|
Kyogen is the traditional comedy of Japan. It has
its own tradition separate from noh but is often
classed together with noh since it is used to fill
in the interludes of a long noh drama and afford
light relief.
 |
Sensu (a fan)
can be used skillfully in various ways to
represent a dagger, a saw, a spear, a plate,
etc. |
|
|
Kyogen is usually performed
without masks, but occasionally the masks
shown here are used. The emphasis in kyogen
is on humour. |
Kyogen contains a lot of dialogue.
 |
Nohkan: like
a flute |
