Présentation de l'éditeur
We wish to express our heartfelt indebtedness to the book A GUIDE TO NOH by P. G. ON eill (IIINOKI SHOTEN, Tokyo Kyoto, 1953), without which this book could never have been made as it is; it gave us the inspiration and confidence to dare undertake such a forbidding task. The three volumes of JAPANESE NOH DRAMA (T he Nippon Gakujutsu Shinkcjkai, Tokyo, 1955, 1959, and 1960 respectively) were invaluable for the thirty Noh which they include, with the only full translations available in present-day English, detailed stage directions, voluminous notes on the complex background references, and superb introductory material. We recommend their perusal by anyone seeking the fullest appreciation of Noh. Arthur Waley sTHE No PLAYS OF JAPAN provided a valuable balance as a somewhat different point of departure and intention. These are the books on Noh in English which have helped us enrich our knowledge and understanding of Noh. In Japanese, the definitive masterpiece of Noh research YOKYOKU TAIKAN by Sanari Kentaro has been always at our side. We have mined a wealth of useful information from NOHGAKU KANSHO JITEN by Maruoka A kira. The staff of Wanya Publishing Company have given full measure of their energy, enthusiasm, and inexhaustible knowledge accumulated through generations of Noh practice and scholarship. All photographs are by Wanya, of HOSHO performances.
