Around Kinharu-dori in Ginza 8-chome, there was a mansion of Noh Kinharu-ryu in the Edo period. He was given land and salary as a Noh actor directly under the Shogunate. Among the Yotsuya of Kinharu, Kanze, Hosho, and Kongo, the oldest Kinharu family has prospered since the Muromachi period, and has been performing Noh in Edo with Kanze Tayu since the early Edo period.
Even after the Meiji era, he has left his name on Kinharu Street and Kinharu Geisha, and still retains its name in Kinharuyu.
The Noh Kinharu Festival began in 1985 to inherit Edo culture.
The Noh performances performed on the streets of Kinharu-dori on August 7 are all unique Noh performances unique to Nara Kinharu, which boasts a thousand years of ancient rituals, praying for peace and delighting Taihei.
"Every life crown", "Chief Captain", "Suzunodan", "Yumiya Tateai"

Every year, on the last day of the Kinharu Festival, Noh is performed on the streets of Kinharu Street.
It is a series of rare songs such as "Every Lifelong Crown", "Dad Captain", "Suzunodan", and "Yumiya Tateai".
These are all songs dedicated every year at the firewood Noh at Kofuku-ji Temple in Nara and the On Festival in Kasuga Wakamiya.
Everything is an old votive song from before the Zeami era, and the feature of Kinharu style is that the lyrics inherit the old style.
