Since the art of Noh was perfected in the 15th century, it has been handed down to this day in much the same form. In April 2017, the Kanze School, which constitutes the largest group of successors of Noh, opened a new Noh theatre in a commercial facility in Tokyo’s Ginza. The programme captures the performance commemorating the occasion on the opening day.

They also presented utai (singing part of Noh) and dance.
