Kyoto Event: Takigi Noh at Heian Shrine 2017 [4K]

On June 1st and 2nd, 2017, the 68th Annual Takigi Noh performance took place at Heian Shrine in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan. “A Fantastic Tour of Kyoto Powerspots“ was the theme of this year’s performance, and through the stately traditional dance and song the audience was transported to famous locations such as Kiyomizu-dera, Fushimi Inari Taisha, Nonomiya Shrine, Kurama-dera, and the Kamo Shrines. Get a taste of noh, the oldest style of Japanese theater still practiced today, through selected scenes from the plays “Kamo“, “Tamura“, and “Shari“, performed by the Kanze and Kongō schools of noh, as well as the more comedic kyōgen via “Kurama Mairi“ performed by the Ōkura school. Takigi Noh is an event not to be missed if you find yourself in Kyoto in June, so make sure to check Discover Kyoto and book your tickets in advance! For more information and photographs:
