Boys Day Kyogen 中尊寺 , 岩手県

Hakusan Jinja
Chusonji Temple, Hiraizumi, Iwate-ken
Golden Week, May 2009

Every year the monks put on a complement of noh theater at the very old, on-site Noh stage. I suppose it would technically be 'amateur' since they are monks and not Noh actors, but since they do it every year it can't be considered awful.

This happened on Boys' Day, the only Kyogen performed amid the Noh. These kids did a great job.
