Description:
|
Richly illustrated, and based largely on sources inaccessible to the non-Japanese speaker, "An Invitation to Kagura" provides a rare glimpse into 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... Paperback or download from lulu.com/lang-arts
