The “15th Keifukai: Prayer and Requiem” event organized by Noh・Kyogen Appreciation Club (of which Shitekata Kanze School performer Nagayama Keizo is president) was a Noh production held at the National Noh Theater on November 23, 2022, under a grant from Arts Council Tokyo. Themed around “prayer and requiem,” the production included Nagayama Keizo performing the ritual piece “Okina,” a prayer for the peace of the world and the nation; and “Toru,”a piece marking the memorial performance for the second death anniversary of Nagayama Keizo’s late father, Nagayama Reizaburo. Noh, which was perfected in the Muromachi period, at its core has a long history as an art form for requiems. The program was designed to focus on a peaceful future through the power of the performing arts, in a world that has stagnated due to the pandemic. Noh artists featuring in the performance included Kanze Tetsunojo, a teacher of Nagayama Keizo, and the National Living Treasures, Umewaka Rosetsu, Nomura Mansai, and Nagayama Rinzo.
