Japan boasts one of the world's oldest, most vibrant and most
influential performance traditions. This accessible and complete
history provides a comprehensive overview of Japanese theatre and
its continuing global influence. Written by eminent international
scholars, it spans the full range of dance-theatre genres over the
past fifteen hundred years, including noh theatre, bunraku puppet
theatre, kabuki theatre, shingeki modern theatre, rakugo
storytelling, vanguard butoh dance and media experimentation. The
first part addresses traditional genres, their historical
trajectories and performance conventions. Part II covers the
spectrum of new genres since Meiji (1868-), and Parts III to VI
provide discussions of playwriting, architecture, Shakespeare, and
interculturalism, situating Japanese elements within their global
theatrical context. Beautifully illustrated with photographs and
prints, this history features interviews with key modern directors,
an overview of historical scholarship in English and Japanese, and
a timeline. A further reading list covers a range of multimedia
resources to encourage further explorations.
