Noh performances on the floating stage at Itsukushima Shrine.
Itsukushima Shrine's Noh performances take place on the only Noh stage in Japan built over the sea. During high tide, the stage appears to float on water, creating a mystical atmosphere as performers enact classical Noh plays against the backdrop of the Seto Inland Sea.
