Abstract
This paper examines the debates on Noh theater reform that formed the core of Noh reform during the late Meiji period. Specifically, it considers the Noh Theater Reform Committee, in which Yamazaki Seitaro and Got Keiji participated, and analyzes the content of the committee's discussions. In particular, improving the kensho (spectator seating) became the main issue, and comparisons were always made with reformed kabuki theaters. Ultimately, the opinions of the Noh Theater Reform Committee became ideals furthering the adoption of nested seating in later Noh theaters.
