Additional Information Image was scanned from color slide. Note: Number in caption refers to designation in book: Noh, the Classical Theatre of Japan by Donald Keene. 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.
