Additional Information Image was scanned from slide. Note: Original image circa 1874 by John Gray Brayton, American (ca 1820s - ca 1900s). Note: Kyōgen (...literally "mad words" or "wild speech") is a form of traditional Japanese comic theater. It developed alongside Noh, was performed along with Noh as an intermission of sorts between Noh acts, on the same Noh stage, and retains close links to Noh in the modern day; therefore, it is sometimes designated Noh-kyōgen. However, its content is not at all similar to the formal, symbolic, and solemn Noh theater; kyōgen is a comical form, and its primary goal is to make its audience laugh."--Wikipedia. Note: Original caption information provided as: "Kyogan Drama slide photo by Ted Tussler oroginal by Braden-Late 19th cent. From an old photograph. Copy Photographby Lennox Tierney"
