<No & Kyogen>  Seiryouji-Temple in Kyoto city on beginning of April. 
This is a Cultural heritage of Japan.
A noh dance or classical Japanese dance -drama.
"No" is the oldest of all classical dance-drama in Japan that developed 
in the fourteenth century from religious sources and folk myths.
It is a combination of drama,music, and dance.
There is a one-act comic interlude called "Kyogen", which is of simple 
construction and is performed to fill the intervals between the "No" plays. 
It serves as a relief from the solemnity of the "No" drama.
