Kamakura Takigi Noh

15/10/2025

This is a report on the Kamakura Takigi Noh performance in the fall of 2025. The Noh play performed was “Hagoromo.” It's one of my favorite plays. It centers on the Hagoromo(feather robe), depicting the conflicting roles of the celestial maiden and the fisherman. The celestial maiden's words, sharp as arrows, pierce the fisherman, yet he immediately returns the robe in response to her words. I believe this contains a message of human harmony.
