Kanazawa Noh Museum, Theatre and art museum in Hirosaka, Japan.
The Kanazawa Noh Museum displays traditional Japanese masks, costumes, and stage props alongside multimedia presentations explaining the performance elements of Noh theatre.
After the Meiji Restoration of 1868 led to the decline of the Kaga Hosho school, Sano Kichinosuke devoted his efforts to reviving this performance tradition.
The museum preserves the art of Noh theatre, which received recognition as a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage for its historical significance in Japanese performing arts.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering visitors opportunities to try on authentic Noh masks and costumes during weekends.
Local artisans, including gardeners and carpenters, historically sang Noh chants while working at heights, leading to the saying 'Noh chants fall from the heavens.'
