5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, August 31, 2002

This review is from: Troubled Souls from Japanese Noh Plays of the Fourth Group: Kanawa, Semimaru, Kogo, Eboshi-Ori, Jinen Koji and Kagekiyo (Cornell East Asia, No. 95) (Cornell East Asia Series) (Paperback)
This is the first book on Noh that I have ever read, and although I'll probably not read many more I am very impressed with this book. I am not as much impressed by the plays themselves, one does not nearly get as much out of Noh reading it than watching it, as much as the minute detailed scholarly work of Dr. Chifumi Shimazaki. Ever little line of Noh has been carefully analyzed, and Prof Shimazaki gives the references for each part. She also gives a good introduction to each Noh piece,telig of the resources it was written from. This book might be of interest to fans of the Heike monogatari.
