Perfected in the Muromachi period (1336-1573), the performance art of Noh was eventually employed as a ritual by the shogunate government in the Edo period (1603-1867), and many feudal lords learned to perform the art, which was considered a valued skill in the samurai class.
This exhibit presents Noh robes and masks originally owned by the Okayama-Ikeda clan, the feudal lords who ruled the Okayama Domain. The robes and masks are now owned by the Hayashibara Museum of Art in Okayama Prefecture. Enjoy the delicate, graceful and colorful world of Noh costumes.
