Title
Shinji nô
神事能
Text Nô plays performed as part of Shinto religious ceremonies. Origins of the nô drama may be found in the za (parish organizations) associated with the Kasuga and Hie shrines. Today there are still many local shrines where old forms of nô drama are performed at festivals. A full program of nô plays begins with a Kami-mono (god-drama), in which a deity appears as the shite (protagonist).
