SUMMARY

Richly illustrated, and based largely on sources inaccessible to the non-Japanese speaker, this book provides a rare glimpse into kagura (Shinto theater), a performance style with roots predating even noh drama. Coverage includes the history of the art; the kagura stage; schools of performance; synopses of plays and ceremonies; movement and choreography; kagura costumes; masks and mask-making; implements, decorations and special effects; the music of kagura; and related folk arts. There are also additional sections with comparative materials on noh and kabuki. A new world of theater awaits...Petersen, David is the author of 'Invitation to Kagura: Hidden Gem of the Traditional Japanese Performing Arts', published 2007 under ISBN 9781847530066 and ISBN 1847530060.
