Noh Club
Club Activities
Our advisor is Ms. Fusako Yamazaki, a Noh theater master of the the Kanze school, and former KUAS proessor. Noh is a traditional performing art that was developed by Kan’ami and Zeami in the Muromachi period (about 650 years ago), and consists of dancing, chanting, and playing music. In the Nohgaku club, we perform “shimai” (dance with a fan) and “utai” (chanting) to accompany the dialogues and dances of the performance. We have at least four performances a year, in which we dance in kimono with fans.
