Business Overview
The world of Nohgaku has a long history of being inherited and developed only by men. In the Konparu school, the head family of the Konparu school, Nobuko KONPARU, 79, made an early effort to foster female Noh actors after the war, and in 2004, 4 actors, namely actors Reiko TOYAMA, Shunkyo SHIMABARA, Riho SENDA and Mansa TAKAHASHI, were certified as the first female general Important Intangible Cultural Property. At present, under the head family of Yasuaki KONPARU, the 80, and under the head family of Norikazu KONPARU, the 81, who succeeded to the iemoto in April 2018, many female Noh actors are training under different disciples. This is the third independent performance by a group established by three shite-kata Konparu-ryu Noh actors to explore the possibilities of "female Noh" and to promote the art and activities of female Noh actors.

Profile
[Mito no kai]
Seimi MURAOKA, Mayuko KASHIWAZAKI, and Misa HAYASHI, three Noh actors of the Konparu school of shite-kata who are close to each other in their performance history, started this Noh performance association in 2016 in order to further develop the lineage of 'female Noh' and to seek a place to gather the power of female Noh actors.
