このコンテンツについて
In this quiet, reflective episode, I share the story of how I first encountered Utai—the chant of Noh theatre—and how it answered a longing I had carried for years.
It began in a Romanesque church in Paris, where I heard opera up close for the first time. That voice, so full and resonant, stayed with me. I didn’t know it then, but it had started me on a journey toward a very different kind of vocal expression.
Utai is not “singing” in the usual sense. It is a deeply embodied vocal art developed in medieval Japan—resonating not through volume, but through presence. In contrast to Western opera, which fills vast spaces with sound, Utai was shaped in quiet, intimate spaces, where the voice must come from within the body itself.
In this episode, I reflect on how architecture, tradition, and physical awareness shape the human voice across cultures. I also share what it feels like to sit face-to-face with my Noh teacher, and to hear the chant—not just with the ears, but with the whole body.
If you are curious about the art of Noh, the meaning of voice, or simply wish to listen to something calm and contemplative, I hope this story will stay with you.
