Takigi Noh (Firelit Noh)

About this event

Takigi Noh at Chuson-ji is a spellbinding performance of traditional Noh theater staged by the light of blazing torches within the grounds of this UNESCO World Heritage temple. The ancient stories of gods, warriors, and spirits come alive in an outdoor setting steeped in history, as the crackling flames cast dramatic shadows across the performers. This pairing of Japan's most classical theatrical art with one of its most sacred sites makes for a truly unforgettable evening.
