We play hurdygurdys on Nou stage, which is Japanese historical and traditional acting stage. Last year, I played HG solo. But this time, we played with 4 Japanese HG players! The performace is the quite first time on Japanese history.On March in next year, we play again on this place.And at the time, we use my portatif organ on the stage with HGs.You feel some differance from our performance, but the time ,when Nou was established on Japan, is same time when it was on the mid of Renaissance in Europe.

先日の能舞台での集合写真です。
昨年は私一人でしたが、今回は豪華に４名のハーディガーディによる演奏でした。
２０分の演奏でしたが、非常に濃い内容になりお客様たちからも好評でした。
来年３月も能舞台があるのですが、この時は家からパイプオルガンを持っていく予定です。
能舞台で響くパイプオルガンとハーディガーディ！
前代未聞の歴史とのコラボ、とても楽しみです。
撮影は大杉謙治氏です。
This is a set of photos in the noh stage the other day.
I was only one last year, but this time it was a luxury of 4 Hurdy Gurdies.
It was a 20-minute performance, but it was very thick and received from customers.
There is a noh stage in March next year, but at this time I will take an organ pipe from home.
This is a noh stage.
We are very excited to collaborate with unprecedented history.
The Photo was Kenji Osugi.

| Noh stage, Wikipedia |
Noh (能 Nō)—derived from the Sino-Japanese word for "skill" or "talent"—is a major form of classical Japanese musical drama that has been performed since the 14th century. Developed by Kan'ami and his son Zeami, it is the oldest major theatre art that is still regularly performed today. Traditionally, a Noh program includes five Noh plays with comedic kyōgen plays in between; an abbreviated program of two Noh plays and one kyōgen piece has become common in Nohpresentations today. An okina (翁) play may be presented in the very beginning especially during New Years, holidays, and other special occasions.
Nō together with Kyōgen is part of Nōgaku theatre.
Noh is often based on tales from traditional literature with a supernatural being transformed into human form as a hero narrating a story. Noh integrates masks, costumes and various props in a dance-based performance, requiring highly trained actors and musicians. Emotions are primarily conveyed by stylized conventional gestures while the iconic masks represent the roles such as ghosts, women, children, and the elderly. Written in ancient Japanese language, the text "vividly describes the ordinary people of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries". Having a strong emphasis on tradition rather than innovation, Noh is extremely codified and regulated by the iemoto system.
