Editorial Reviews

Review
The reader will find no fuller and more informed account of the complexities of Japanese theatre history and of the cultural matrices from which Japan's various theatre forms grew, than in this admirable scholarly work.
(James R. Brandon Monumenta Nipponica )

The book represents the summation of a lifetime's work by a meticulous teacher and scholar whose fascination with his subject now allows him to share his knowledge, and his enthusiasms, with a larger audience.
(J. Thomas Rimer Asian Theatre Journal )
