Noh is a representative form of Japanese performing arts with a history of over 600 years, dating back to the Muromachi period.
The main performer wears a mask called "Nohmen" and presents singing and dancing.
Unlike Kabuki, another traditional Japanese art that uses many props and elaborate sets, the main characteristic of Noh is its simplicity, as it does not utilize a large number of tools commonly found in other traditional performances.
