Ishikawa Prefectural Noh Theater, Traditional Noh theater in Ishibiki, Kanazawa, Japan.
The Ishikawa Prefectural Noh Theater features a stage constructed entirely of Japanese cypress wood with a Shinto shrine-style roof and painted pine tree backdrop.
The theater's main stage, originally built in 1932 for the Kanazawa Noh Theater, was relocated to this venue when it opened as Japan's first public Noh theater in 1972.
The theater maintains the Kaga-Hosho style, a distinct form of Noh performance that developed in Kanazawa during the Edo Period when common people could learn this art form.
The facility operates from 9:00 to 22:00, remains closed on Mondays and public holidays, and presents weekly Noh performances along with special summer Saturday evening shows.
Through its monthly recitals by the Kanazawa Nohgakukai and educational programs, the theater serves as the primary institution for preserving classical Japanese dance-drama traditions.
