The Regular Noh Performance by the Bayashi-ka Kyogikai offers an opportunity to enjoy a variety of Nohgaku bayashi (orchestral accompaniment). This June evening performance will feature Mai-bayashi (dance with music) from the Hojo and Kanze schools, Dokyoku (solo instrumental piece), and Ichyo (short solo piece), as well as Ikyogen (comic interlude) "Yao" with bayashi accompaniment. Furthermore, when the Noh "Hashi-Benkei" is performed with the "Fue no Maki" (Flute Scroll) Kosho (special notation), its content changes so drastically that it can be considered a completely different piece from the standard Noh, making the rare special direction a must-see.
## Organization Overview

With programs uniquely designed by bayashi performers, they deliver a diverse range of variations from the five Shite-kata (main actor) schools and Nohgaku bayashi.
