Business Overview
At the 34 th Dan no Kai, we planned two plays of Noh “Matsukaze ” and“ Tatsuta, ” which focuses on dance, in the theme of “Noh and Dance. ”. This time, fans will be exhibited so that people can feel the deeper appeal of Noh. Originally, fans play an important role in Nohgaku and are one of the flowers of the stage. There are various variations of fans, and there are various rules depending on the thought of the performer and the program. Visitors will be able to experience the charm and beauty of each fan from this exhibition, and an explanatory book titled "Iroha of Fans" will be distributed to visitors. The content explains the characteristics of fans and various rules, and aims to let people enjoy Nohgaku from a different perspective.
