An Evening of Noh and Kyogen 2023 (Free online video streaming)
Every year in autumn, the Japan Foundation Kyoto Office organizes an event called “An Evening of Noh and Kyogen” to give people an opportunity to experience traditional Japanese culture, inviting international students, the Japan Foundation Fellows, and those enrolled at the Japanese-Language Institute, Kansai to join us.
In FY2023, with the easing of measures against COVID-19, the event will resume performances with an audience for the first time in four years. The performance was well received by both local and international guests. We will be distributing a free video recording of the performance for one year for everyone outside Kyoto to enjoy.
