Ômi ''[[sarugaku]]'' was a form of medieval dance-drama performance, based in [[Omi province|Ômi province]], and rivalling in the late 14th to early 15th centuries the [[Yamato sarugaku|Yamato ''sarugaku'']] of [[Kan'ami]] and [[Zeami]]. In contrast to [[Yamato province|Yamato]] ''sarugaku'', which specialized in the art of ''monomane'' (imitation of characters), Ômi ''sarugaku'', led by [[Inuo|Inuô]] at that time, placed primary focus on the cultivation of an aesthetic mood of mysterious beauty known as ''[[yugen|yûgen]]'', and on creating artistic effect (''kakari'').

Zeami describes Ômi ''sarugaku'' extensively in his writings, describing his adoption and adaptation of various aspects of the Ômi style in order to better attune his own Yamato ''sarugaku'' to the more cultivated tastes of elite [[Kyoto]] audiences. These adaptations mark the transformation of Yamato ''sarugaku'' into the [[Noh]] theatre.
