This is the 8th time the event has been held, and it is called "Solo Noh Two-part Noh" because he will be performing two Noh pieces by himself. The first Noh piece will be a short but excellent work, "Kikujido Yubu no Gaku," and the main Noh piece will be the famous piece, "Hachigi," which praises the samurai spirit and loyalty that can be said to be the virtues of the Japanese people.

There will also be performances by the 26th head of the Kanze school, Kanze Kiyokazu, and other talented performers, including his eldest son, Saburota, making for a performance of shimai. There is plenty to see.
