I loved this so much! I'm deeply grateful for the subtitles! my Japanese teacher took me to a performance in Kagoshima (I think.. It's been so long my memory has grown vague) and I was captivated by the music, the chanting-speech and the movement but couldn't understand what was being said! Watching this through the lens of a practicing Buddhist, I would have liked to hear the Dhamma talk that the monk would offer a snow spirit! かたじけない!

i fall asleep to the NOH sounds. the flute & sounds take me past superficial daily thoughts & into my soul path. (on the nights i'm not listening to Psalms)

How much can the average Japanese person understand when watching? As someone who learned the language and can partake in daily conversations, and deeper conversations related to my hobbies, I could barely make out words without the subtitles.

This play took place half a world away. But it hit close to home. It reminded me of a friend who never saw any hope of redemption in herself. Sadly, she is nolonger of this world by her own doing.

I enjoyed this a lot. The way the music really sold the story as significant, even though it's just a monk meeting a mysterious women and they don't do anything other than mild religious praise. I was drawn into Japanese theater through Kabuki, but Noh is also really good, I've just discovered. I hope there's more on youtube for me to watch, I'm bitten by the bug now.

Each play I see lets me understand a bit more. Noh plays are poetry. This poem in particular, for someone with Buddhist beliefs, this is a cautionary tale. Even a little bit of sorrow can leave you sranded in this world, even when you don't remember who you are or what caused that sorrow. In the end, only hope for liberation could carry her through, let all sorrow melt away.
Yugen is the word I remember from the Wayley book. Sad like the end of summer or dew leaving cherry blossoms falling. Impermanence

Beautiful! I'm not an expert but very interested in Noh, and this is probably the simplest story I've ever seen. In my mind, that simplicity made it even more graceful and touching. Each line felt very special and I was so invested in the ghost's feelings. Congratulations!

Ok, somebody has to say it. The king has no clothes! Honestly? This the most discordant cacophony and disturbing patriarchal spectacle I could imagine, and I can't understand what the point of it is, or how anyone could sit and watch this through to the end. The chants sound like the wailings of a dead-eyed constipated old man. The flute sounds like a malfunctioning car alarm. The percussion is out of a penny cracker. If aliens landed and tried to win the prize for random, boring weirdness, they would be easily beaten by this insufferable opera. Ok, ok the architecture and craftsmanship are classically ancient Japanese perfectionism incarnate and the clothing must have been ironed flat by a golden steamroller, but....come on....this is the creepiest load of cultural nonsense one could ever have to endure.

So gracefully the artists are walking. Every movement is full of grace! The sound that persons making sitting at the back with drum is very attractive. The sing song conversation between the snow lady and the monk is mesmerizing. I loved the whole thing.

Lacks moss. Actors are young, uneroded, unripened, strong and confident in their voices. NOH, when good, is like BLUE CHEESE . . . should be more BLUE MOLD, and less WHITE MILK. The warbling in the chanting should be the warbling of old man TRYING TO KEEP TO A PITCH, note the athleticism of younger men "doing" vibrato.

Your comment made me think about a lot of stuff. But I'll say this, I thought it was awesome that they were putting that amount of strength for such a relatively simple play. It kept me glued from start to finish, and really mesmerized at times. Maybe it's not a blue cheese but it's a parmesan that gives you a strong umami kick even on a small bite.
