Noh is a traditional form of Japanese theater that combines drama, music, and dance. Originating in the 14th century, it is known for its slow, deliberate movements and the use of masks to convey emotions. Performers wear elaborate costumes and often depict historical or mythical characters, telling stories that explore themes of life, death, and the supernatural. The performances typically take place on a simple stage with minimal props, allowing the audience to focus on the artistry of the actors. Noh is considered one of the oldest forms of theater still performed today and is recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
