The three great nembutsu kyogen of Kyoto is a Saga large nembutsu trick of Mibu Large Nembutsu Kyogen and Seika-ji Temple (Saga Shakado) of The Enma-do Dainenbutsu Kyogen and Mibu-ji Temple.
What are three great kyogen? It is also said that the origin dates back to the Kamakura period. Currently, it seems to be inherited by the preservation society.
Nembutsu Kyogen is a silent drama of the teachings of Nembutsu by Yuzu Nembutsu, a middle-aged enthusiast of Yuzu Nembutsu. It has been done for 1,300 years.
However, Enmado Dainenbutsu Kyogen is said to be a Kyogen with dialogue.
Enmado Dainenbutsu Kyogen
Senbon Enmado, where the Enma King is enshrined as the principal idol, is officially called Injoji Temple because of the opening of Ono no Takamura.
Originally, the King of Enma was merciful as an incarnation of Jizo, and the temple was always crowded with people from the towns he visited, and during the Muromachi period, Noh and Kyogen were also performed.
Many people come to the familiar Nembutsu Kyogen performed with dialogue.
