Takigi Noh by the light of burning torches at Heian Jingu shrine

| Kyoto is filled with many arts, refined though history and tradition. Noh, one
of the performing arts developed in the Muromachi era, communicates a subtle beauty
even today, as one of Japan's ancient arts. Noh, a contrastive farce and a type
of comedy performed in everyday language, gained popularity with the common people.
In the Momoyama era, Senrikyu perfected the Tea Ceremony while in the protective
custody of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. After this came the establishment of the Japanese
art of flower arrangement. The Kyomai form of dance, with its understated movements
reflecting a richness of expression, developed in the middle of the Edo era. |
