For the first time, we will hold a traditional performing arts event at a special venue with the Imperial Palace's Nijubashi Bridge in the background. The event will primarily feature works of noh and kyogen, along with performances of folk performing arts from the disaster-hit Tohoku area as a prayer for recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake, and performances of Ryukyu performing arts as a prayer for reconstruction of Shuri Castle. Don’t miss this rare chance to enjoy the noh piece “Okina,” among many other classic works of performing arts, with the extensive gardens of the Imperial Palace in the background.
Online video streaming service is available (live-streaming and VOD).
