Business Overview

He performed kyogen 'Kaso' (battle of flowers) after nine lessons and the tenth lesson.
While learning the basics of kyogen, such as utai (chant) and komai (small dance), they practiced the movements and lines of "kaso" repeatedly in pairs.
Instructors were Yamamoto Norishige and Yamamoto Norihide of Okura-ryu Kyogen-kata.
On the day of the recital, he wore the costume usually used by professional Kyogen performers and performed six pieces of 'Kaso' (Since there were 11 participants, 1 person appeared 2 times.). After that, the lecturer gave a demonstration of "sleep music.".
On the day of the performance, the backstage staff were staffed by members of the Nohgaku Performers' Association and experienced female kimonos.

Profile

[Joint association of Shigenori Shigenori Hide]
With the motto of being easy to understand and friendly, we want to convey the charms of Kyogen seriously, so in 2017 we established a Kyogen association and group.
We aim to expand the number of people who are interested in Nohgaku by focusing mainly on popularization performances and also focusing on children's experiences and lessons.
We incorporated in December 2024 to further expand our activities.
