Aoi no Ue (葵上, Lady Aoi) is a Muromachi period Japanese Noh play based on the character Lady Aoi from the Heian period novel The Tale of Genji. It is an example of the fourth category of "miscellaneous" Noh plays. Aoi no Ue was the first of many Noh plays based on The Tale of Genji.[1] It is sometimes attributed to Zeami Motokiyo or to his son-in-law Zenchiku;[2] the extant version of the text is likely a reworking of a version written for the troupe of a contemporary, Inuō.[3]
