While walking in Ginza, I saw a poster to guide the Noh Kinharu Festival.

On August 7 (Monday), there is a Noh parade from 6:00 p.m. The place is Ginza Kinharu-dori.

 There is a panel explaining the "Kinharu Yashiki Ruins" street on Ginza 8-7-11. According to the book at hand

During the Edo period, Yotsuya of Kinharu, Kanze, Hosho, and Kongo worshiped a mansion in the current central area as a Noh actor directly under the Shogunate. Among them, the Kinharu family was a traditional family that flourished since the Muromachi period, and the mansion was equivalent to the current number 6-8 of Ginza 8-chome. Geisha, who are called Kinharu Geisha, gathered on the site. A woman who worked down at the Kinharu Yashiki is said to be the roots of the Kinharu Geisha, and gained popularity because she was familiar with art such as Nagauta, Jobanzu, Kouta, Hauta, and dance, and was also good at entertaining people, The surrounding area developed as a flower town. Noh is performed on the streets of Kinharu-dori every year on August 7th. (From Chuo-ku, which can be seen on foot)
