A phantom art of Japan's past at the Honolulu Festival
 Daidengaku is a form of Japanese art that was revived by Kyogen master Mannojo Nomura, oldest son of Man Nomura who is the leader of Kyogen's Izumi School. Mannojo passed away at a young age due to illness in 2004. His father, Man Nomura, inherited Mannojo's desire to continue the legacy of Daidengaku. Man Nomura continues to spread this cultural tradition of Japan's past by performing the dance revived to its contemporary form by Mannojo. Daidengaku promotes cultural exchange and local activity throughout Japan by involving ordinary citizens in its production.
