Noh and Kyogen

Japanese: 能狂言 - のうきょうげん

〘Noun〙① Noh and Kyogen. ※Warambegusa (1660) 1 "The Noh and Kyogen troupe look at the roles, first understand our roles well, and investigate the appropriate props."② Kyogen in Noh. It is used to distinguish it from Kabuki Kyogen. The word began to be used in the Edo period. It is also simply Kyogen. ※Meiji Social Hyakuwa (1936)〈Yamamoto Shogetsu〉The people who made fun of it were all impressed "Yamamoto Azuma (the previous Tojiro), a Noh and Kyogen performer who was said to be the greatest of all time, was the head of the Okura school and an outstanding master."③ It is a form of Kyogen that has been broken down into a hastily performed style. It was performed in a small theater in the grounds of a temple or shrine. ※Humorous story: Tokaido Chu Hizakurige (1802-09), volume 7: “The medicine peddler’s tales, the impersonations of the yakuza, and Noh and Kyogen performances filled the temple grounds to the brim.”
