Description

This text discusses genres of traditional Japanese theatre - no, kyogen, and kabuki; and bunraku puppet theatre. It opens with a sampling of four versions of an ancient thunder god myth to portray the significant characteristics of the four major dramatic genres. The text is organized by genre and features prefatory essays on topics ranging from music and costuming to performers and audiences. Selections of representative plays are included with explorations of related theatrical styles. Introductory material to each play describes the play's history and the source of its story, as well as a list of characters, descriptions of stage actions and musical accompaniment, and notes on difficult passages.
