Talk:Noh

message: These two terms are not really synonymous. Nōgaku is a term for the theater tradition that includes nō and kyōgen. So, nō and kyōgen are both nōgaku.

replies: text: I'm reading this article right now, and just wanted to add my support to Taira no Kiyotsune. Yes, all (most) Japanese music and theatre can be traced to influences from China, but that doesn't mean that the Nuo directly became Noh, or that Noh came directly from China in any way.

message: I came to this article to find out if women were allowed to act in Noh productions as they were (for a time) in Kabuki, but I had to go to the simple english article to find out that they were not. I'm going to see if I can't throw something in there about it, but this isn't my area of specialty (though if I do do my term paper on it, I might be able to help improve the article).

message: Because the section on Performance Elements provides a lot more context for the subject than the Roles and Plays sections above it, may I suggest that it be moved up to be the first section? As currently written, someone coming in cold is thrown straight into the deep end. Possibly, the Roles section could then fit as a subsection of it, but I don't know enough to know if that works. Nor do I know enough to feel bold enough to make my suggested move. —Quasirandom (talk) 23:08, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

message: That first section completely failed to answer the question "What the heck is Noh?" for a general audience.  I've moved most of what was there to a 'history' section and put a few general remarks at the beginning.  I'm not sure where that paragraph about each performer setting his own rhythm should go, but it certainly shouldn't be in the introduction! Franzeska (talk) 17:05, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Introduction 

message: Noh is a japanese drama made in the 14th century it was first staretd by a buddist monk name Chi Lu'Lee. This form of dance never became much biger until the 14th century when traveler from china came to japana and brought the idea of mask and from there the drama just went higehr and higher up.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.218.53 (talk) 01:12, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Someone had it saying the stage is on stage right, with that picture beside the paragraph clearly showing that the bridges are on stage left. Stage right and stage left mean the right versus left from view of the audience, not from view of the performers. It is to clarify to the performers that the director means from the audience's perspective, so they don't get confused and go by their own right and left.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.22.238.118 (talk) 22:29, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Maybe you should mention somewhere that the drummers in the hayashi-kata or musicians emit shouts to coordinate the music, but this is just to keep the time of the music, it has no semantic content related to the play.  The audience ignores that?   66.241.130.86 (talk) 16:28, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a mention that the hayashi (except the flute-player) "shout encouragement" and "shout to create a particular mood for the performance".  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blOzH842IYg#t=49.293813   99.243.73.146 (talk) 02:20, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
