Profile
"Public Interest Incorporated Association Hosho-kai"
The official association of Noh shite-kata Hosho-ryu.
It was officially founded as an incorporated association in 1912, but its predecessor group started its activities around 1885.
Acting as the main organization of the school, it has endeavored to pass on the traditional art and fundamental spirit, and has contributed to the development of the Nohgaku world and cultural activities in Japan.
We are working to promote Nohgaku by hosting various performances and providing opportunities for many people to enjoy Noh.
