Description
Japanese No Dramas is a collection of 24 plays that showcase the intricate fusion of music, dance, mask, costume, and language that defined Japanese noh theatre. Written by the dramatist Zeami and others, these plays explore complex ideas such as the relationship between men and the gods, and the power of greed and desire. The plays in this volume are revered in Japan as a cultural treasure, and their spiritual and sensuous beauty has had a profound influence on English-speaking artists. This collection offers a unique insight into the literary merit of Japanese noh theatre, and is a valuable addition to any library of world literature.
