Demonic, Divine, Human: Japan’s Noh Theater is organized by Phoenix Art Museum. It is made possible through the generosity of the Papp Family Foundation.
Incorporating music, dance, and drama, Noh is a form of classical Japanese theater that portrays stories, myths, and historical episodes. Noh’s all-male troupes of actors traditionally wore masks to express emotion and symbolism. This installation showcases the work of print artists who conveyed scenes of divine, demonic, and animal characters drawn from Noh plays.
