22. THEATRE AND DRAMA IN JAPAN The japanese puppet theatre is probably the most complex puppet theatre in theworld. Today, kabuki is the most vital of the traditional japanese forms, http://colveyco.com/gallery-annex/NohMasks/NOH.html

THEATRE AND DRAMA IN JAPAN 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. As in other Asian countries, in Japan the theatre descended from ritual dances. When it emerged, it assumed three major forms: Noh, puppet theatre, and Kabuki. 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. To understand the Japanese theatre, one needs to know something of political events in Japan. The period from 1338 to 1560 was one of upheaval and civil strife. With the return of peace, the Emperor was reduced to a religious and ceremonial role, while civil authority passed to the

JAPN 395E: Special Topics (1 Credit) Drama and Theatre of Japan Goals : 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. This course will put a special emphasis on inter actions and intra actions (borrowing and adapting) between traditional theater and contemporary theater/films within Japan and abroad (e.g.

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.

Kappoh SHIMAMURA Tokyo Station Japanese-style restaurant: where customers can enjoy the delight of foods and services of Japanese foods Front view The style of Japanese foods depends on the sense of chefs and stores. Traditional restaurants, called "Kappoh" and "Ryotei", serve mainly Japanese-style foods in private dining rooms. 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. Private dining room An example of Kaiseki Ryouri 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.
