interesting but flawed,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kabuki, Backstage, Onstage: An Actor's Life (Hardcover)
Interesting but the author arrived quite late on the kabuki stage and in an unconventional fashion. Generally kabuki dynasties are long held and quite prestegious. This is explained clearly by Mr. Nakamura. I wonder, however, if the story is all that complete without a view from a family or actors that have been entrenched in the world of kabuki for 2 or 3 hundred years and may have a remarkably different perspective on their world. Only a nagging feeling that I couldn't shake while I read this tome.
