Noh, Kabuki and Bunraku are three traditional Japanese art forms that have evolved over several centuries. Although each has its origins in theater, they present distinct differences in terms of style, performance and history.

• Noh is one of Japan's oldest theatrical forms, dating back to the 14th century. It is a highly stylized musical drama known for its minimalism. Actors wear elaborate masks, and plays are often slow and contemplative, with a strong emphasis on choreography and music.
• Kabuki, on the other hand, is much more flamboyant and dynamic. Born in the early 17th century, Kabuki is known for its elaborate make-up, colorful costumes, extravagant sets and exaggerated acting. It often employs spectacular stage tricks and presents dramatic stories with complex plots.
• Bunraku, or puppet theater, is an art form that dates back to the 17th century. Puppets are manipulated by three puppeteers dressed in black. Bunraku is famous for its emotionally powerful narrative style, with often tragic stories told by a narrator accompanied by music from the shamisen, a traditional Japanese string instrument.
