Noh Theater
links
Noh is a very old form of traditional Japanese theater with its origins in the 14th century. The actors of Noh plays wear masks. They speak and sing in a very monotonous way, accompanied by a chorus and traditional music instruments. The Noh stage is traditionally located outdoors and has a roof supported by four columns.
