Your fotos are really extraordinary, they capture perfectly the spirit and the beauty of no. I especially enjoyed the close-ups since they reveal the wonderful and precious material of the costumes which you normally get to see only from afar. Thank you for sharing your experience with other people. I’m writing from Germany. Your fotos are really extraordinary, they capture perfectly the spirit and the beauty of no.

Please check out my companies website to learn more about noh. I've been studying since 1996 and it just gets more interesting as the years go on. It's a beautiful form and you've taken some lovely shots. I’m glad you got to see these performances. Please check out my companies website to learn more about noh.

It feels like I was there for the show. Composition is excellent, and technically they're great--I don't think they'd be much improved by a tripod or faster lenses. I went to a half-day long kabuki performance a few years ago and slept through about 2/3 of it. Wow, cool set of photos! It feels like I was there for the show.

It looks like Cyndi Lauper's 1980's hairstyle had a big impact on Japanese culture. Wow. It looks like Cyndi Lauper’s 1980′s hairstyle had a big impact on Japanese culture.

The texts are actually full of ingenious puns and other forms of wordplay, and were a joy to read. I can see how understanding the language would make it a vital, fun artform, kind of like Shakespeare to us moderns.
