Or Noh; Classical, aristocratic Japanese drama which developed from the 14th to the 16th centuries and is still performed. There is a repertory of some 250 pieces, of which five, one from each of the several classes devoted to different subjects, may be put on in a performance lasting a whole day. Dance, mime, music, and chanting develop the mythical or historical themes. All the actors are men, some of whom wear masks and elaborate costumes; scenery is limited. No influenced kabuki drama.
No developed from popular rural entertainments and religious performances staged at shrines and temples by traveling companies. The leader of one of these troupes, Kan'ami (1333–1384), and his son and successor Zeami wrote a number of No plays and are regarded as the founders of the form. The plots often feature a ghost or demon seeking rest or revenge, but the esthetics are those of Zen Buddhism. Symbolism and suggestion take precedence over action, and the slow, stylized dance is the strongest element. Flute, drums, and chorus supply the music.
