No.3 In the garden of an ancient temple, the world of mysterious firewood Noh The 27th Shomeiji Firewood Noh
Last Updated May 13, 2024
On May 3, on a refreshing day like May, Shomeiji Firewood Noh was held at Shomeiji Temple in Kanazawa-cho, Kanazawa-ku.
Beginning with commentary by Noh performer Ujin Sakurama and Kyogen teacher Mansai Nomura, Rengin by local children, fire ceremony by a woodworking group in the ward, and dance "Senju", one-tone "Rokuura", Kyogen "bell sound", Noh "Tomoe". There is a laugh of Kyogen, the sadness of the story of Noh, and there are performances related to Kanazawa.
It was my first appreciation, but I was able to experience the wonderfulness of Japanese classical performing arts and enjoy the mysterious world of firewood Noh and the garden of the illuminated ancient temple.
The next year's schedule (scheduled for April 29, 2025) has also been announced, so I would like many people to come.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the understanding and efforts of the Executive Committee, local Neighborhood Associations, fire brigade, and volunteers who supported the event.
