Shiraai-no-kai
Formed by the three Noh performers Kayu Omura (Kou-school, small drum), Misa Hayashi (Komparu-school, Dancer and singer), and Hachirou Tsujii (Komparu-school, Dancer and singer). The organization was formed with the aim of promoting and popularizing Noh beyond the boundaries of styles/schools and roles.
