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, a kyogen performance 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.
