The main character this time is KODO SOWA, a Noh musician.
SOWA is a kotsuzumi-kata.
My grandfather, HIROSHI SOWA, was a Living National Treasure and continued performing on stage until he was 90 years old, just before he passed away.
We will listen to a performance and talk on the Noh stage of Imamiya Shrine Otabisho, the place where his grandfather first performed on stage.
Noh was perfected by Kannami Zeami in the Muromachi period.
It is also registered as a World Intangible Cultural Heritage.
It is a masked play in which a tragic story based on history and mythology is played to the accompaniment of chants and musical accompaniment.
A rehearsal for an upcoming performance at the Kongo Noh Theater.
The program is "Dojoji".
One of the highlights of this song is "Ranbyoshi", a one-on-one match between the leading role SHITE and Kotsuzumi.
SHITE raises and lowers its toes and heels to the sound of drums and shouts, creating a unique tension on stage.
However, in general, people tend to think that Noh is a world with a high threshold.
SOWA is actively working on stages other than the Noh stage, and is conducting promotional activities.
At the Kyoto Brighton Hotel, there will be a live performance of Noh with a flute.
There will also be live performances and exchanges with SHITE at the Teramachi Sanjo gallery.
He hopes that someday many people will come to the Noh stage.
"Noh is the same as rice. Fluffy rice porridge doesn't taste good, so it's better to have a core," says SOWA.
Under the tutelage of his grandfather, we will approach the philosophy of a Noh actor who faces his art.
