Starting with Danjūrō I's Shibaraku, which dates to the late seventeenth century, Matsui artfully traces the origins and evolution of many of kabuki's defining characteristics while linking them to larger patterns of cultural development in Japanese society. As a novelist and former writer for the kabuki stage herself, she offers a unique perspective on 10 of the most famous and beloved plays in the traditional repertory, ending her survey with Mokuami's Sannin Kichisa, which premiered in 1860--just prior to the start of Japan's modernization. Her keen insights, encyclopedic knowledge, and easy writing style bring this centuries-old theatrical tradition to life, rendering it readily accessible to those who may have no prior knowledge of the subject. Originally intended for Japanese readers, this groundbreaking work is now available in English, offering the international community glimpses into why kabuki can truly be called a 'mirror of Japan"--Back cover. 000760514 546__ $$aText in English translated from the Japanese. 000760514 650_0 $$aKabuki$$zJapan. 000760514 650_0 $$aTheater$$zJapan. 000760514 650_0 $$aJapanese drama$$xHistory and criticism. 000760514 7001_ $$aCrandall, David$$c(Translator),$$etranslator. 000760514 7650_ $$aMatsui, Kesako, 1953-$$tKabuki no naka no Nihon.$$dTōkyō : Nihon Hōsō Shuppan Kyōkai, 2010.$$kNHK bukkusu ; 1153$$z9784140911532$$w(DLC) 2010462311$$w(OCoLC)587098444 000760514 830_0 $$aJapan library (Shuppan Bunka Sangyō Shinkō Zaidan) 000760514 85200 $$bgen$$hPN2924.5.K3$$iM2913$$i2016 000760514 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:760514$$pGLOBAL_SET 000760514 980__ $$aBIB 000760514 980__ $$aBOOK
