As one who studied and performed Noh and Kyogen theatre in a troop called Theatre of Yugen based in San Francisco CA for almost 2 decades. Though retired in 2004 and at 75 Yrs now I could hardly do any of these movements. I did more of Kyogen which is one act comedy relief between Noh dramas which are as you can see here very intense and complicated stories with spiritual/philosophical and esoteric fantasies for the most part. These performances usually went all day with multiple stories so there has to be relief from utterly stern Noh dramas. Music accompaniment alone as well as singing is so very specialized not to mention movements that takes years to gain control since everything must adhere to set traditional compositions. There are 5 Noh gaku (theatre) schools or styles even though the difference maybe hard for audience member to differentiate. Every movement is dictated by certain pattern of foot and hand coordination and as you can see foot movements are almost always sliding. They are the most uncomfortable body use of moving until your body start to own it It's pretty much the same as opera repertoires more you study the program more you understand and appreciate. Oh one important aspect of Noh drama is that there are 2 parts broken by intermediary actor explaining who the main character is and what/why he or she has appeared in the first place, Then she/he comes back as the true form of ghost /spiritual character till conclusion of story. And only main character wears a mask as default. Those masks can be hundreds years old as private props in head master's treasures. Many repertoire is based on historical person or occurrence that's why it helps to study the stories before you view performances
Your comment is fascinating. Thank you for sharing it here. The history of Japanese theatre is so complex and nuanced: I see it taking a lifetime to master. Kudos for your dedication and accomplishments from an admiring American. ✨
It seems the ensemble starts to play when we are in the spirit world so to speak. I am just amazed at all the sounds the drummers are making and thinking they developed a notation for each of those sounds. Some of the sounds are similar to ones that we did as kids. lol so interesting. There has to be some rhyme or reason, is it the wind reminding us we are not in the present but in a different realm? Do you know if that is what the noises are trying to convey?
I travel regularly to Tokyo and have frequently enjoyed Kabuki and Bunraki performances, but I have never managed to see Noh live. It’s very difficult to get information, even locals seem relatively clueless. I travel again in February 2024 and would love to see a performance. Does anybody have specific information? Thank you.
They sure do. When that flute starts playing that power level goes up..lots of stomping ensues. Heck it makes get up and start stomping around my own house! I absolutely love it! I wish we had things like this in America instead of trash rap. Rock, and country music shows
I once worked for a very wealthy man, as his executive and personal assistant. He was so enamored with Japan and its culture that he named his yacht Tomoe. I suppose on one of his trips to Japan, he saw a performance of Tomoe and that inspired him.

I was born in Portugal, 1984, always lived in Portugal. As a kid, my parents listened to some classical music, so I grew fond of it. In my teens I discovered about Opera, and how the "majority" of pieces (as I found back then) where spoken in the Italian language. Slowly I developed some form of understanding, mostly due to translations I could find online. In parallel, I also enjoyed a lot of japanese anime as a teen (Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Rurouni Kenshin, Neon Genesis Evangelion, etc etc etc) - and eventually I even learned a bit of Japanese - even going to studying the first like 100 Kanji. All the while, I kept listening to classical music and developed a love for especially Symphonies - Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, etc etc. Eventually I found out about traditional Japanese music. Such a shock it was and also so mesmerizing. It still is to this day. Just the few minutes at the start of this performance, all the sounds and rhythms sound very different from "classical", but regardless are just so interesting and SOOO captivating! The sounds and musical structure feel so different from like the typical italian Opera, yet at the same time, the performance is so entrancing and captivating. I don't mean any disrespect by the comparison, it's just the way I'm able to try and interpret the music. I feel like this Japanese style is an open window to a depth of immeasurable wealth of knowledge of the human soul, regardless of where and when you are born. It's truly remarkable. I find myself locked in this performance. Well done and thanks for the share.

Thank you very much for sharing with us this ancient epic story, for teaching us gentleness and nobility, the value of silence, the very very subtle Beauty. These type of cultural gems are priceless. I bow in respect. Domo Arigato
It was pretty slow in the first part, but the ending when they were explaining Tomoe's deeds at the end of the battle, and how she gave up being a warrior in order to carry on a legacy was great stuff.
I am an American, and have been interested in Japanese stage plays since I was young, very impressed with the “young drummer on the left he shows serious dedication and he along with the other musicians demand “ Much”respect ; Domo Arigato, for showing this Art of Japan .
Interesting story. I love how simple noh is. It reminds me of the theory of Sublime in art. Awe in nature, the emotions it brings, and personal connections.
Decades ago, I found a book called 'Japanese Death Poems': fwiw, the subject matter isn't as morbid as it may seem. It's a remarkable history of a phenomenon unique to their country - and wildly entertaining to boot. Their connection with nature - even in moments of battle - is direct and profound. Kurosawa's film 'Dreams' was my introduction to this dimension of what I'll call the Japanese mindset. Consciousness of nature permeates Japanese culture in ways that I'm not sure a lot of Westerners can relate to. (Wish I'd focused on this much earlier in my own life.)
@mortalclown3812 One of the few "Western" countries that I've found to have a deep respect for and connection to nature is New Zealand. It makes sense as it also has a very long and rich history and culture in the indigenous Maori peoples. They were almost destroyed by colonization, luckily they've survived (albeit undoubtedly scarred) and the government and descendants of settlers have recognized how valuable and beautiful that culture is. If only we could follow their example in America.
Thank you Fate/Grand Order for making me interested in reading about the Genpei War and literary works related to it, allowing me to find this gem. Love from Bangladesh.
I know the story of Gozen Tomoe and her husband. They were of the Taira clan and fought one of the most famous battles of that era. I used to tell that story to children at the Asian Art museum, San Francisco.
Being on an island makes for crazy culture. I know you're probably used to British culture, but if you actually think about all the British things, they're also extremely unique. Think of Hawaiian culture, also extremely unique. We take for granted how easy it is to trade culture over land. You can just start walking to the next group over and share some neat stuff when you're all on a continent. You have to have a boat to share culture when your neighbor is on an island.
Brilliant. Mysterious. Beautiful. Thank you! I am mystified how this combination of seemingly odd techniques, performed in a language I don’t speak, reflecting a culture of which I have no experience can rivet me to my screen for an hour and make me crave more. Great art is truly transcendent. Bravo.
I thought I would watch the first 10 minutes or so of this to get an idea of what Noh is like but I ended up watching the whole thing. Very interesting.
Very interesting performance. I was one of the viewers of the zoom call about this play, and that too was interesting and educational. When I was an undergraduate in university, I took part in a short workshop where we got to do a tiny bit of Kanze Ryu, and that was a great experience. I would love to be able to learn more about it. When I lived in Tokyo several years ago, I went to the Yari Noh Theater, the inside looks pretty much the same as it did then.
Very interesting, thank you. It's hard for non Japanese. I sense there are ghosts, the Buddhist themes, deeply Japanese themes perhaps kami of places, objects etc. But equally Shakespeare is very difficult for modern western audiences: the classical world, magic, English history, places, old names. I appreciate the costumes very much.
If I am here and watched the whole performance and thanks to FromSoftware. In their title "Sekiro", it mentions Tomoe, however it is cut content. Then they reworked her and put her back in Elden Ring as Malenia. Magnificent performance. At times I shivered from the intensity
Wtf are you talking about. Tomoe is not cut content in Sekiro, she is a huge part of the lore. She don't appear because she has died long time ago. she's the one who teached Genichiro. Please just don't write stupid things for seeking attention.
44:50 love this part. the percussionists are really awesome it was so exciting listening to them play with the chorus. also the nohkan guy is a big chiller

Strange but fascinating this sad story of Tomoe.
It would be nice to see the translated words instead of "Character talks to the monk for five minutes."
It takes dedicated browsing, but the 'book' /librettos for these are probably online and even in English.
What is surprising is even though it appears relatively sparse, there's a whole lot going on.
