The Feudal Lord's Noh Robes and Masks: From the Collection of Hayashibara Museum of Art

Lovers of noh theatre should make a beeline for this exhibition on the robes and masks used during performances. Noh was established in medieval Japan, became much loved by the later samurai classes, and is nowadays also associated with the more comedic kyogen form. During the exhibition, a selection of Okayama’s Hayashibara Museum of Art’s famed collection of noh artifacts will be on display. The Shoto Museum of Art’s Seiichi Shirai-designed building should provide the perfect backdrop for the exhibits; its aesthetic is also classically Japanese.
