National Noh Theatre Exhibition Room

The National Noh Theatre has an exhibition room in its facility at Sendagaya, Tokyo. Established in 1983, the Theatre has been committed to preserving and promoting Nohgaku (Noh and Kyogen), one of the world's oldest traditional performing arts, with a history spanning over 600 years since the Muromachi period. The Theatre organizes performances, research, and successor　training programs for traditional performing arts, with the exhibition room holding exhibitions three times annually. Special or planned exhibitions feature materials related to Nohgaku left around Japan and collected specifically for the exhibition and exhibits based on specific themes. The introductory and collection exhibitions feature the Theatre's collection items, which include approximately 600 items such as Noh and Kyogen masks, costumes, literature, and paintings. You can also search for those items online at the Cultural Digital Library by the Japan Arts Council. While the exhibition period is
ongoing, customers who did not attend the performance can still enjoy the exhibition by entering through the office entrance.
