[Performance Contents]
Kyomai (Kyoto-style dance), Chadō (Tea Ceremony), Kadō (Flower Arrangement), Koto Music, Bugaku (Ancient Court Dance), Kyogen (Traditional Comedy), Noh or Bunraku.
Kyoto-style dance, performed by geiko and maiko, has been practiced in Kyoto for over 200 years since its inception. In this performance, you will have the opportunity to witness the mesmerizing Kyoto-style dance performed by maiko adorned in exquisite costumes.
Kyogen, which has flourished since the Muromachi period, is characterized by its vivid and comical portrayal of the realities of society at that time.
Noh, created approximately 650 years ago during the Muromachi period by the father and son, Kan'ami and Zeami, has maintained its current form. Noh is a form of "musical drama" that combines storytelling called "utai" and musical accompaniment called "hayashi."
You will have the opportunity to watch "Date Musume Koi Higaeshi - Hi no Miya no Dan," which is designated as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
