5.0 out of 5 stars Kabuki Dancer, December 28, 2007
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Lovely book for inside information of a Kabuki Dancer, from her side of the room. Delightful and mind opening. I believe this is a book that is
one from the heart. I liked it, it was an aid in my research of expressions of culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kabuki's Founder, May 26, 2008
By

(REAL NAME)   
This novel is about the woman who transformed theatre in Japan and founded Kabuki. I was amazed to learn that "kabuki" originally meant strange and unconventional. Ironically, women were later forbidden to perform on stage in Japan. Centuries later, Sadayakko would have to reclaim the place of women in Japanese theatre by becoming popular in the West first. But it all started with one courageous and defiant woman named Okuni portrayed so movingly by Sawako Ariyoshi.
