Business Overview
Shigeya Kimura, a Noh actor who lives in his hometown of Tabata, Kita Ward, wanted to give something back to Kita Ward, where he was born and raised, through Noh, and realized the holding of Asukayama Takigi-noh in October 2003. Since then, local town associations, shopping districts and companies have organized the Asukayama Takigi-noh Executive Committee, and the whole Kita Ward has been working on the project from grassroots to grassroots. This year, the 17th performance, was held for two consecutive nights, including a repeat performance of a program that was canceled last year due to weather.
