Join me as we step into Kanazawa Noh Museum — a haven that unravels the rich history, cherished traditions, and emotional tapestry of Noh, a time-honoured Japanese performing art.

This fall, the city of Kanazawa invites us to explore the profound influence that culture has in shaping the status and identity of a region in a special exhibition, “The Imperial Household and Ishikawa: Brilliance of Elegant Beauty.”
