[Environment for participants to continue practical experience (practice) of traditional performing arts] By experiencing utai, you can learn the charm of utai that you could not understand just by listening to it. You can also learn waka poems and feel the beauty of Japanese. You can expect to become healthy mentally and physically by speaking loudly. In addition, by learning the basic rules of dance, it is possible to deepen the understanding when appreciating Noh. In addition, they become conscious of their posture and trunk, which is expected to improve their health as well as utai. For those who wish to continue learning utai and shimai after completing the course, various lessons are available depending on individual requirements and conditions, from casual lessons to one-on-one lessons. We also hold regular social gatherings with our members, and you can interact with them through Noh practice.

Profile
[Noh and Kyogen Appreciation Association]
It was established by Keizo NAGAYAMA, a Noh actor of the Kanze school, with the aim of improving his art and popularizing Nohgaku. They regularly hold workshops at 'Setagaya Nagayama Noh Stage' (completed in 2017) located in Setagaya Ueno. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, we held a monthly lecture titled “Why don't you experience the world of Noh? ” and in addition to watching the performance, we also held a program in which participants could watch the men's costumes and actually experience the chanting of Noh songs, so that they could understand the details of Noh while understanding its programs. Also, let's try!! Under the title of 'Yokyoku Shimai' (Noh song) and 'Keiko-man to man,' lessons are held for three months (twice a month).
