Dear listeners,
I’m happy to share a new reading this month: Kantan (邯鄲), one of the most quietly profound stories from the world of Noh. Drawn from Mankichi Wada’s Yōkyoku Monogatari, this tale follows a young man who dreams of fifty years of glory—only to awaken as the steam rises from a bowl of millet.
It is a story of impermanence, told not with drama, but with stillness. A dream that vanishes in a breath. A truth that speaks through silence.
This piece has taken on special meaning for me recently. Later this month, I’ll have the quiet privilege of attending a live performance of Kantan at Hōshō Noh Theater in Tokyo—where my own Noh master will take on the role of Shite, bringing the world of Kantan to life on stage.
Although I know most of you won’t be able to attend, I wanted to share the details for those curious about this tradition:
Performance Information
(Note: I am not affiliated with Hōshō Noh Theater.)
Date: May 17, 2025 (Saturday)
Venue: Hōshō Noh Theater (Tokyo)
Time: Doors open at 10:15 AM | Performance begins at 11:00 AM
Program: Yoshino Shizuka (能), Oni Gawara (狂言), Kantan (邯鄲)
If you listen to this new episode, I hope it brings you into the poetic stillness of the Noh world—even from afar. Your support allows me to keep creating these quiet recordings, and I’m truly grateful for that.
With deep appreciation,
Kasumi
