On June 30 2018 Udaka Tatsushige will perform the noh Tanikō 谷行, a rarely performed play set in the world of shugendō, a syncretic religion fusing Buddhist beliefs with the worship of natural elements. The followers of shugendō, known as yamabushi (mountain-priests) perform austerities during their pilgrimages across the sacred mountains between the present-day Osaka and Nara prefectures.
This noh is full of action, featuring a group of yamabushi forced to sacrifice one of their young acolytes by hurling him down a valley, and the intervention of a fierce deity who coming to rescue the child.
Tanikō famously inspired Bertolt Brecht’s school operas Jasager/Neinsager.

Hi Diego, Any chance this might be filmed? It is so rare it would be great to see it and I wasn’t able to get to Kyoto!
I think that Tatsushige is thinking about putting a few clips online but I doubt it will be the full play, at least not at this time… let’s see!
