THEATRE AND DRAMA IN JAPAN

http://colveyco.com/gallery-annex/NohMasks/NOH.html

Extractions: Today, the Japanese theatre is more widely known in the West than that of any other Oriental country. Since World War II, China has been increasingly isolated from the rest of the world, while India's classical theatre is no longer vital. On the other hand, Japanese traditional forms still figure prominently in the repertory. Because Westerners have become increasingly familiar with Japan and its traditions, to many the Oriental theatre is above all the Japanese theatre. Although Noh took shape over a long period, it first attained eminence through the work of Kanami Kiyotsugu (1333-84) and his son Zeami Motokiyo (1363-1443). These early playwrights remain the major writers of this form. Of the approximately 240 plays still in the repertory, more than 100 were written by Zeami. It was also Zeami who formulated the principles of Noh acting and production practices. Thus, Noh is rooted primarily in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.

http://deptorg.knox.edu/japanese_dept/syllabus_nonJap/theatre.htm

Extractions: This course will trace the history of Japanese drama and theater from emergence of the ancient courtly gagaku bugaku , to current avant-garde plays, including investigation of noh, kyogen,bunraku , and kabuki performance traditions. These all have been nurtured by themes, stories, and conventions in indigenous folklore, religions, and literature while being enriched by inspirations from continental Asian traditions in the early times as well as European trends and techniques in the modern period. Textual analyses will be largely focused on medieval noh plays, early modern joruri puppet plays, and kabuki theater. In addition, some examples of modern shingeki repertoire theater and avant-garde plays will be studied. Japanese theories of performance since Zeami will be studied in comparison with Aristotelian and other Western concepts. Emphasis will be put on performance (including music, dance, and acting) and production will be appreciated by the aid of video and sound tape/CD-recordings.

A question often heard from those traveling to Japan for the first time - Is it is really as safe as I've heard? Japan has a long held reputation for being a safe country, low in crime compared to most... Maybe you've also seen current events in the Japanese media, stories of crimes previously unheard of and shocking to most Japanese. Reports of organized crime, drugs and murder make the headlines of Japanese newspapers... ( read more Japanese popular culture Japan's popular culture not only reflects the attitudes and concerns of the present, but it provides a link to the past. Popular films, television programs, comics, and music all developed from older artistic and literary traditions, and many of their themes and styles of presentation can be traced to traditional art forms. Contemporary forms of popular culture, like the traditional forms, provide not only entertainment but also an escape for the contemporary Japanese from the problems of an industrial world. (

Research FROM SIRENS TO SUPER-HEROES: EDO PERIOD KABUKI THEATRE Anne Phillips , 27 May 2003 Kabuki is a type of Japanese theatre which flourished amongst the rapid urbanisation of Edo period Japan (1600-1867). In this period, Kabuki developed from small-scale dances in dry riverbeds to full-blown dramatic performances in theatres which could house over 1000 paying customers at a time. Kabuki was topical, feeding on fashions and fads, and at times, even creating them. It evolved with the communities of townspeople who patronised it, as well as the broader changes which affected Japanese society as a whole. This slice of old Japan is still performed 12 months of the year at the Kabuki-za in Tokyo, and less often at other theatres around the country, but it is good to think about how modern Kabuki differs from Edo period Kabuki. What elements of Edo period kabuki remain with us today and what elements have been left behind? During the lecture we consider this question while taking a tour of Edo period kabuki using works of art and videos to bring out the diversity of plays and performance styles. The lecture will focus on the following four areas: 1. In the late early 1600s, exotic dances were performed at a Kyoto riverbed. These performances by women featured imported fashions and cross-dressing, and became so popular that they caused disturbances and were banned. Later, performances by young men were also banned, with laws being passed which demanded both a plot and older male performers. Decorative screens provide us with visual evidence (albeit somewhat romanticised) of Kabuki in this period.

It will be argued that the acting conventions of both schools differ in terms of the different requirements of each form; with the more formalized Noh theatre demanding skill in dance, while the action and spectacle of the Kabuki requires physical training and the ability to project expressions with faces rather than masks.

A Japanese-style dish, which represents Japanese notion of beauty with its taste and presentation, is also popular: Kaiseki Ryouri. Kappoh SHIMAMURA provides a wide range of foods with its motto "Prepare a simple meal and never fail to stock the required things". The store is careful in selecting ingredients, e.g. fresh fish for Sashimi (sliced raw fish), and cooks them well to keep the materials' features. From the served foods, with the ostensibly simple style, Japanese chef's idea could be acquired. The SHIMAMURA restaurant presents a wide variety of good-taste foods in a relaxed atmosphere. Here is a popular place for politicians and celebrities. The store ensures customers' privacy with special care. The young proprietress experienced an internship program in a London hotel.

The splendor of Japan's four seasons, historical visuals, the Japanese sense of life in harmony with nature, and the mixing of native Japanese culture with elements imported from other cultures are all introduced. Retaining its revered place in the Japanese cultural world is the unique theatrical art form Kabuki. This 300-year-old theatre combines the best of dance, music and acting skills. Kabuki is characterized by elaborate costumes, vivid make-up, highly stylized acting and exaggerated vocalization. These, together with picturesque settings and colourful music afford a memorable experience to the theatre-goer. NHK-3
