The Kabuki Theatre FROM THE PUBLISHER
'This book explains everything lucidly and painstakingly- the background, the facts, the emotions, both from a Japanese and a Western point of view. If you can keep paying attention you will find at the end that you seem to have been living in Japan for quite a while.' --Edwin Denby, 'Art News'
