T'he splendid robes of Japanese No plays, spun from sumptuous silks and laden with elaborate embroideries, evoke the elegance of court life while embodying symbolic attributes of the drama's characters. This volume lavishly documents the outstanding collection assembled by a remarkable benefactor. The text traces the history of the No theatre and the creation of these spectacular costumes, and the exquisite details provide a wealth of inspiration for artists and designers.

The 47 costumes came to the Museum by gift and bequest from Miss Aldrich herself and represent all categories of Noh costume. Four essays document the history of the collection, including Miss Aldrich's encounter with Chinese bandits; poetic allusion in the imagery of the robes; the traditional methods of making Noh robes; and the evolution of Noh costume over 650 years. Individual entries with colour illustrations discuss each of the 47 objects." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Introduction, by Susan Anderson Hay; Providence, Paris, Kyoto, Peking: Lucy Truman Aldrich and her collections, by Susan Anderson Hay; Where poetry and pattern meet, by Helen M.
