Overview

This beautifully designed book is an elaborate look at the Japanese performance art of the Noh theater. Featuring striking masks, costumes and stylized slow movements of characters like ghosts, demons or spirits, Noh is heavily influenced by Zen Buddhism and intends to offer a meditative experience for audiences and performers. Several black and white photographs and extensive definitions showcase and explain the artform. Undated, circa 1960. Embroidered cloth boards. Former library copy.
