Business Overview
This is a one-day event where you can enjoy two traditional cultures at the same time: "Nohgaku," which has continued as a Japanese performing art for 700 years, and "Rakugo," which has been an entertainment for the common people since ancient times. At night, the temple's native bamboo is cut into lanterns and placed on the stage and garden to create an ethereal world. On the day of the performance, fresh chrysanthemum flowers will be displayed on the stage in association with the Noh play "Kikujido" to create a fragrant and gorgeous atmosphere. In addition, before a Noh performance, a mini lecture is held by a Noh actor and highlights are explained. Nohgaku is an event that can be enjoyed casually by people who tend to think that nohgaku is too difficult or those who see it for the first time.
