Komparu Zenchiku (金春禅竹, b. Shichiro Ujinobu 1405-1468, 1470 or 1471) was a skilled Japanese Noh actor, troupe leader, and playwright. His plays are particularly characterized by an intricate, allusive, and subtle style inherited from Zeami which convolved yūgen with influences from Zen Buddhism (his Zen master was Ikkyū) and Kegon. Actors should strive for unconscious performance, in which they enters the ‘circle of emptiness’; such a state of being is the highest level of artistic or religious achievement.

  • Komparu Zenchiku (金春禅竹, b. Shichiro Ujinobu 1405-1468, 1470 or 1471) was a skilled Japanese Noh actor, troupe leader, and playwright. His plays are particularly characterized by an intricate, allusive, and subtle style inherited from Zeami which convolved yūgen with influences from Zen Buddhism (his Zen master was Ikkyū) and Kegon. Actors should strive for unconscious performance, in which they enters the ‘circle of emptiness’; such a state of being is the highest level of artistic or religious achievement. He lived, worked, and died in the Nara area of Japan. He was trained by Zeami and his son, Motomasa (d. 1432), eventually marrying a daughter of Zeami. At some point he took the artistic name Komparu Ujinobu and then finally Komparu Zenchiku. In 1443, he became the leader of the Kanze acting troupe and thus the second successor to Zeami Motokiyo. Zeami passed on his secret teachings to Zenchiku, apparently prompting Zeami's exiling; this refusal to transmit to his blood descendants also prompted a split between the Komparu school and the Kanze. Zenchiku's grandson was Komparu Zempo, and his descendants would continue to head the Komparu school of Noh.
