Business Overview
Two plays, 'Hanako,' a kyogen play, and 'Sumidagawa,' a noh play, are performed. Both Noh and Kyogen were unified with programs dealing with a character called 'Hanako,' and the differences in expression and direction of each were presented with the aim of rediscovering the charm of Hanako. In particular, in the kyogen 'Hanako,' the shite (lead actor) is identified as Yoshida Shosho by attaching a kogaki (small sign) of "kae shozoku," which further emphasizes the commonality with the noh 'Sumidagawa.'. In addition, at the beginning of the performance, the performers themselves introduce the highlights so that the audience can understand the program more deeply, so that a wide range of audiences, from beginners to enthusiasts, can enjoy it. Performers: Jiro SAKUMA, Yoshihiro NOGUCHI, Kyokun OKURA, Ryotaro TSUKUDA, Yoshiyuki KANZE, and others: Shimai, 'Hanjo,' Kyogen, 'Hanako,' Noh, 'Sumidagawa'
