The actors wearing painted masks made of wood and colorful costumes made Brocade.
There are also roles without a mask, but even then the face is used to to resemble a mask, without attempting to expression.
Because movements are restricted and the actor put no feeling in his voice, Noh pushes the dark sides of humanity, on the other hand, the mysterious gestures and monotone music known revealed a deep beauty as a yugen (subtle and deep).
