Noh and Kyogen are two of Japan’s traditional theatrical forms. Noh, the most ancient of them, is religious and usually centres on the sin of killing and the joy of Buddhism. Kyogen is intended as the light relief in between. Despite the language barrier – even Japanese people have difficulty understanding the florid language – there is much to admire in these performances. As with much that is Japanese, their appeal rests as much with aesthetics as with content. Noh actors never rehearse together before performing and the spontaneity of the performance is one of the form’s main attractions. Two separate plays are rendered during each performance

Roll up your sleeves and prepare for sauce that you like getting under your nails. Kansas Town’s first recorded barbequer was Henry Perry back in 1908. Perry converted an old trolley barn into a restaurant and would serve is ribs on paper for twenty-five cents a slab. Old Man Perry’s cafe was found at 19th & Highland and was later sold to George Gates and Charlie Bryant. It become known as Arthur Bryant’s and is still today regarded as one of America’s best rib joints. Today Kansas Town boast over ninety rib cafes.
