Mibu Temple

Kyogen are short plays with exaggerated movements that originated about 700 years ago to spread Buddhist teachings to a wide audience. Mibu Kyogen, or Mibu Dainenju Kyogen specifically, uses no spoken dialogue during the performance. To celebrate the traditional holiday of Setsubun, the Kyogen performance of the same title will be performed live every hour on the hour. Watch the comical act of a bright red ogre being chased away as handfuls of roasted soybeans are thrown at him.
