At a Glance

Kanazawa Noh Museum is a museum of Noh theatre in the Hirosaka area of Kanazawa, opened in 2006. It collects and displays art connected with Kaga Hosho, the style of Noh that is a traditional performing art of the city. It stands on ground linked to the Noh theatre of the early Showa period, close to the Kanazawa 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art.

In the entrance gallery, a video explains the Kaga Hosho Noh stage and a model recreates the Kanazawa Noh Theatre built in 1932. The main gallery upstairs shows Kaga Hosho costumes and masks, including the Sano family collection of 85 masks, costumes and fans, a designated cultural property of Kanazawa. A third floor room hosts classes in Noh movements. The attached shop, Kanazawa Craft Hirosaka, shows and sells local crafts such as Kaga inlay and embroidery.
