Kasuga Wakamiya Festival

Japanese: 春日若宮御祭 - かすがわかみやおんまつり
Kasuga Wakamiya Festival


[History]
When Noh first began, there were no permanent, dedicated stages; one was erected for each performance, or the worship hall of a temple or shrine or a Bugaku stage was repurposed, or even earlier, a stage was laid out on straw mats or boards in the gardens of the temple grounds. Even today, at the post-feast banquet of the Kasuga Wakamiya Festival in Nara City, a performance is held on a platform-style earthen stage at Kasuga Shrine, but this remains an ancient style. It is thought that the current stage style was established around the second half of the 16th century (the end of the Muromachi period).
