Appreciate Noh in Ginza Takashi Kuwata The 13th Noh Festival is one of the most popular Noh songs, "Matsukaze"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shimai \u201cIzutsu\u201d \/ Yoshiyuki Kanze, \u201cFunabashi\u201d \/ Kisho Kyogen \u201cBunha\u201d \/ Mansai Nomura Noh \u201cMatsukaze\u201d \/ Takashi Kuwata<\/p>\n

"Matsukaze" is one of the most popular songs, so much so that it is said to be "Kumano, Matsukaze and rice rice." Noh "Kumano" and "Matsukaze", which are interesting no matter how many times you watch them, are likened to rice that goes well with any side dish and you never get tired of it.<\/p>\n

The tragic love story between Arihara Yukihira and Matsukaze, who met in Suma no Ura. How about thinking about a love story that lasts 1200 years?<\/p>\n

In the first half, the young diver sisters appear in front of the traveling monk and show the gesture of drawing the tide. This paragraph is a famous scene so well made that it was later incorporated into various performing arts such as Kabuki and the Japanese dance “Shiokumi''.<\/p>\n

In the middle of the Noh performance, as he tells the traveling monk about his love affair with Ariwara no Yukihira, Matsukaze is overwhelmed with feelings of love.<\/p>\n

Yukihira takes out the eboshi and dance costume that are keepsakes of Yukihira and embraces them emotionally. This dance is the highlight of the second half.<\/p>\n

Dancing in men's costumes means dancing in men's clothing. In Japanese performing arts, there are many genres of male-dressing dances such as shirabyoshi dance. Even today, the Takarazuka Revue has inherited that style.<\/p>\n

Kuwata, who is a man, plays Matsukaze, a woman. And Matsukaze dances in men's clothing. The glamorous atmosphere created by this double transformation is the highlight of this Noh play.<\/p>\n

The shimai are \u201cIzutsu\u201d by Yoshiyuki Kanze and \u201cFunabashi\u201d by Kisho Kanze. Both are dances depicting love stories.<\/p>\n

"Izutsu" is a nostalgic dance of Ki Aritsune's daughter who thinks of Ariwara Narihira, and is a story of pure love between childhood friends. "Funabashi" is a passionate dance of a man and a woman who died violently because their parents opposed them. Noh version of Romeo and Juliet.<\/p>\n

Kyogen will be performed by Mansai Nomura, a popular Kyogen performer who represents the present generation. The highlight of \u201cBunha\u201d is the exchange of love letters. Mansaishi is known for being very active in TV dramas and movies in addition to the Noh theater. Based on the experience he has cultivated through his numerous activities, Master Mansai is said to be a Kyogen performer with a modern perspective, and is highly regarded as an unparalleled performer. Enjoy the supreme Kyogen "Bumba" to your heart's content.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
