The 3 Differences Between Noh Theatre and Kabuki Play

When you imagine traditional Japanese stage art, I think it would look something like this. But these pictures actually represent two different stage arts, Noh and Kabuki. Do you know which one is which, and how they are different? Although they may look alike in photos, they actually are two very different stage arts. So today, as a Noh trainee, I will briefly introduce the history of both Noh and Kabuki, and then explain about the 3 main differences. In the “omake” talk at the very end, I’d like to show you some of my Noh scripts I use for my training which are called “Utai-bon.“ [Time codes] 0:00 Let’s START! 1:06 The history of NOH 3:51 The history of KABUKI 6:11 The differences of NOH and KABUKI 8:43 Today’s conclusion 10:53 “Omake“ talk ▼Who is Shogo?
