“Brdging Tradition and Tomorrow”

WAON – General Incorporated Association was founded in 2024 with the mission of carrying Japan’s traditional performing arts into the future and sharing their enduring beauty with audiences worldwide. Rooted in Noh, traditional music, and other cultural forms, WAON not only preserves and develops tradition, but also creates new expressions through collaboration across cultures and artistic genres.

Our activities range from stage productions and international exchange to educational programs, video productions, and cultural content projects, all designed to pass on the universal spirit and aesthetics of Japanese culture to the next generation.

The association is led by Reijiro Tsumura, Noh actor of the Kanze school and holder of Important Intangible Cultural Property, as President, and Makito Shibuya, composer, as Executive Director. With tradition and creativity as its twin pillars, WAON continues to serve as a bridge of culture connecting Japan with the world.
