Profile
[Public Interest Incorporated Association Tessenkai]
It was established in 1918 with the Tetsunojo KANZE family as the main branch when Sakon KANZE, the 15 head of the Kanze school of Nohgaku in the middle of the Edo period, was in charge. In recent years, Hisao KANZE, the eldest son of Tetsunojo KANZE, the seventh, reviewed Noh widely from the viewpoint of stage art, and realized a dense stage by valuing every role, and gained a high reputation. Even after the death of Hisao, based on his insistence, he continued his contemporary performance activities, such as revising his existing works in terms of staging, with the late Tetsunojo the Eighth and his successor Tetsunojo the Ninth at the center.
