Noh is a traditional Japanese performing art, continuously protected and preserved over the years of its long history. It has its origins in "sangaku", a performing art that was brought to Japan from continental Asia in Nara period, and completed by Zeami in Muromachi period. The Noh masks used in the performance look expressionless at first glance but on stage they convey various emotions and showcase the human emotions very well.
The main focus of the exhibition will be Stephen Marvin's collection, a world-famous lover and researcher of Noh, as well as masks from Kongo family's collection and The Museum of Noh Artifacts, Sasayama. In total, 100 mask will be on display.
