Noh theater building
A building constructed specifically for performing 能 (Noh), with a distinctive stage roofed like a shrine and connected to the audience by a raised bridgeway.
A theater built specifically for 能 (Noh), distinguished from an ordinary theater by its roofed stage — modeled on a shrine stage — and the 橋掛り, a raised bridge along which performers enter.
Common expressions
Major cities each have their own 能楽堂; unlike a general theater (劇場), the term is reserved for venues built to the traditional Noh-stage design.
