description: The spirit is at the essence of Noh. Kannami Kiyotsugu combined elements of other Japanese theater with Zen Buddhism to create the form, while his son Zeami Motokiyo perfected it. Zeami, the "Shakespeare of Noh, " wrote more than 100 of the approximately 240 plays that today constitute the still-active repertoire.Noh reflects its spiritual progeny by conveying the belief that beauty lies in suggestion, simplicity, subtlety, and restraint.
