The Spirit of Noh - A New Translation of the Classic Noh Treatise the Fushikaden (Paperback)

The Japanese dramatic art of Noh has a rich 600 year history and has had a huge influence on Japanese culture and such Western artists as Ezra Pound and William Butler Yeats. The actor and playwright Zeami (1363-1443) is the most celebrated figure in the history of Noh, with his numerous outstanding plays and his treatises outlining his theories on the art. Along with the 'Fushikaden', Wilson includes a comprehensive introduction describing the historical background and philosophy of Noh, as well as a new translation of one of Zeami's most moving plays, 'Atsumori'.
