The Show Must Go On: The Most Spectacular Theaters
National Noh Theater – Tokyo, Japan
When you first step into the auditorium of the National Noh Theater, you may be struck by the simplicity of the room. The walls, stage, and seating are all made of different types of blonde wood, and the space is calm and serene.
The stage was built specifically for the practice of Noh theater and kyogen – two unique types of theater that are so culturally significant to the Japanese people that they have been designated as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Property. In addition to the central theater, the building also contains a restaurant and reading room.
