Kyogen
-in Akizuki-

Kyogen is a form of theater that uses dialogue (words) and gestures (movement).

To put it simply, Kyogen is a play of jokes and lies.
Comedy and the roots of today's manzai and skits.

Traditional Crafts
-in Amagi-

In the late Edo period, the Fukuoka Kuroda domain had Chikuzen shibori, and it was also made in its subsidiary domain, Akizuki.
Since the Meiji era, the name has been known overseas, and during the Taisho era, it was one of the largest producers of Amagi shibori in Japan, but the industry ceased due to a shortage of supplies after the war.
Currently, efforts are being made to spread the word and promote the area with the aim of recovery.
