Sure, the stories take place during the Heian period, but Noh was developed after that during the Kamakura and Muromachi Period. If you want to listen to Heian music, search Gagaku.
Impressive and beautiful! (I’m from China and this inspired me.) Every culture has her uniqueness and charm, of course neighbor countries influence each others, there is no need to empathize and argue who’s more original or who’s better, culture and age are developing, the same like an artist got inspired by the other artists’ work and he learned it but developed to his own style. I wish to travel to Japan to watch the performance.
What do u mean by "there's no need to argue who's more original or who's better"? Of course there's no argument needed! I mean this is straight up Japanese culture, what else could it be?
@@jackjackyphantom8854 Well, there is no denying that Japanese culture is influenced by Chinese culture, being very close to each other. Over time the Japanese added changes to it, resulting in something that is different but recognizable. Personally I think that both cultures have thrir own tastes and are good in their own ways.
@@happycentury4288 Japanese culture was indeed greatly influenced by Chinese but with a different twist of its own. The choice of music for example is noticably different.
@@jackjackyphantom8854 Im not saying Noh is copied from China, which it isn't at all. Noh IS a Japanese creation. But historically speaking, Noh derived from theatrical plays that originated in Tang Dynasty China, as were a huge part of Japanese culture as well. The Chinese version of Noh, is Nuo. They share similarities in that they both employ masks and tell stories. I think the earliest Noh mask actually resembles masks used in Nuo as well in that they had a mouth piece that would move. As some people said, if you wanna see Tang Dynasty, go to Japan. Here's an example of Tang dynasty music preserved in Japan during the cultural exchange periods. You can tell there is alot of similarities in style with the traditional Japanese music as well. /watch?v=9hpyr8SU9p8
@@Jake-dh9qk Are u trying to imply that Japanese culture is the culture of Tang dynasty? Japanese culture had certainly changed quite a lot as the times go. Of course I don't disagree that Japanese culture was influenced by Chinese. But my point is that Japanese culture doesn't equal to Chinese culture, there's still a difference!
The thing that is most amazing is how much expression they can create from a mask. You can get it a bit in the video but in real life it is mind blowing.
There is a strange attraction to this. I would enjoy this live. Its very culturally colorful. I saw something like this in a restaurant in japan where this older guy grabbed a mask and broke out into a dance after dinner. It was quite surprising yet, interesting. I'm not use to it (being from america) but it was very interesting. I wish I understood more about it.
A sometimes frustrating moment, is when you realize you cannot actually "hear' what your own language sounds like. It is second nature and you cannot separate meaning from sound. I appreciate in this moment, not being able to speak Japanese, because I can hear clearly the artful manipulations of words, pitch, and volume, so unique to Noh. Beautiful!
Noh was created by Kan'ami and Zeami in the 14th century Muromachi period. It was not the Heian period from the 8th century to the 12 century. This Shinto shrine is named Heian Shrine because it enshrines Emperor Kanmu who started the Heian period.
That was cool. Of course, I don't understand anything about it, but the costumes look amazing, and the sounds were pretty interesting, too, even to this Western ear. I wonder of the "music" is formally described, if there's a notation for it that ensures consistency across performances--I'm betting there is. Thanks.
Many Japanese may not be able to understand the lyrics just by listening to them, but if the lyrics are displayed displayed on the screen, more people will be able to understand them. Kanji is ideographic, so it is easy to understand if it becomes a character even though it is unknown as a sound. The part of Kyogen from 1: 50 is easy to understand just by listening. Since Japanese learn the old grammar in the class of ancient sentences that they take in junior high school and high school, the more diligently they study, the better their understanding. I would have understood it when I was in high school, but now, 20 years later, I hardly understand it.

I mostly don't understand. But i simply can't get out of this. So attractive!
Art on different level /different dimension
Even speaking Japanese doesn't always help - this is the equivalent of Shakespeare, a lot of the language is very old!
The wind really worked within their favours
More like power of ancestors... When they wear masks its like when you calling spirit of real historical ppl who lived before
if the wind didnt work. a lot of these culture wouldnt survive
Thanks to the wind that pose at 2:41 looked so badass

まさにその通りです!
I got here due to my interest in Heian era of Japanese History. I got into it due to the ghostly, hypnotic trace that this music had over me as a kid.
How? The music is creepy?
Exactly! I really love music from Heian period and actively searched anything related of that era after playing Kuon. There's just something hypnotic.
Sure, the stories take place during the Heian period, but Noh was developed after that during the Kamakura and Muromachi Period. If you want to listen to Heian music, search Gagaku.

I'm very grateful to all the artists, musicians and performers that continues to celebrate and preserve this beautiful culture.
1:19 through 21 seconds. The dress, mask, hair, wind caught in that hair, everything is so damn incredible and awesome. Just perfection.
some theatrical art rlly gave u the impression of travelling back in time, and this is definitely one of them
I just got back from school trip and we went to see the performance it was really enjoyable but it gave me creeps out of nowhere
this is beautiful and gives me chills, love from Malaysia 🤍

Heian is possibly my favorite time period of Japanese history. Thank you for posting this.
All the TRADITIONAL outfit in Japan is gorgeous and cool. And the Kabuki performa is masterpiece 💖
I think Kabuki and Noh are quite different. But I agree with the rest of your comment.

The Japanese, used in Noh is not modern Japanese; it is performed in Heian Era Japanese (Old form)
Amazing...

Kabuki is good, but Noh is much more mysterious, cool and beautiful.
Kabuki borrowed alot from Noh.
とても美しいですね。

Many of the stories though are from the Heian period.
very interesting culture

Noh is an amusement for Samurai,it is not for popularity. On the other ,the Kabuki is for people.

2:35 looks like mortal kombat haha
I wish I understood this
The first one is a "god" Noh, about the Thunder deity of the Kamo Shrine. When he danced the sounds of his steps represent the sound of the thunder
Could the mask worn on the face of an armoured samurai be the lower half of this mask?
I heard that the music players are paid way a lot more than the dancers
This is sick.
I got scarred
Can someone tell me what kind of flute is that?
A nohkan.
@@arsarma1808 Ty so much.
@@shura4365 You're welcome. Finally, that elective course on world music is worth more than merely me being interested in gamalan and noh. :p
The masks really do bring it to life.
that wasn't a shamefur disprayy, well done
0:00 YOOOH
Oouuh!!
1:05
the mimic in general:
Other then the use of masks - are there other differences between Noh and Kabuki?
I think kabuki had more instrumental beat pattern since noh is always using some drum music.
Also, in noh the expression is in body language/ gesture since most of them wearing mask.
Noh does not use shamisen.
The red haired guy reminds me of Kanjuro from One piece
How hard is ot for modern Japanese speakers to understand the language used in Noh? Is it an older form 0f the language?
