520 1 $a"Historical Dictionary of Japanese Traditional Theatre explores all four forms of traditional theatre of Japan: no, kyogen, bunraku, and kabuki. International tours of each form have become commonplace, allowing audiences everywhere to broaden their understanding of theatrical possibilities and inspiring artists to infuse their works with ideas sparked by Japanese conventions. Because of the interest generated by increased familiarity with these traditions - along with a multitude of general and specialized publications that investigate and describe them - a need for a work that provides immediate access to specific information regarding many concepts, terms, and individuals has developed." "Historical Dictionary of Japanese Traditional Theatre fills this need, providing information on nearly every aspect of Japanese theatre, including actors, theatres, companies, makeup, costumes, masks, theories, training, music, and religion. The dictionary offers criticism through hundreds of entries, a general introduction, a chronology, and a special glossary of terms mentioned in the text, all of which is supplemented with an extensive bibliography of English-language Japanese theatre books, articles, and websites."--BOOK JACKET.
