Part III explains the symbolism of selected hand gestures and movements of the fan. Part IV discusses how combinations of meaning and gesture are used to produce patterns of symbolic meaning.

Useful information. The slow movements make the gestures seem more powerful. Noh is a beautiful form of theatre.
