A Venerable Old Man – National Arboretum, Washington DC

A Venerable Old Man – National Arboretum, Washington DC

In the Japanese Noh Theater, the traditional dance of Okina (Venerable Old Man) is performed only at the new year to wish for peace and tranquility in the world, as well as to invoke blessing and good fortune. The character in the title role wears a white, old-man mask while performing a slow dance based on ancient purification rites.
