Noh Noh (能 , Nō ) , or Nogaku (能楽 , Nōgaku ) —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 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 Noh presentations today. An "okina" (翁) play may be presented in the very beginning especially during New Years, holidays, and other special occasions.
