[Introduction to the Contents]
Human beings have always been with performing arts.
Now we must reconsider the power of performing arts. Modern Japanese forms a diverse world of performing arts, with the coexistence of classical performing arts of the medieval and early-modern times, such as kagura, gagaku, noh and kyogen, ningyo joruri, and kabuki, as well as modern plays, music, and performing arts rooted in the climate, with influences from Chinese and Western countries. The author, who is a playwright, director, and producer of Nogaku, continues to link traditional performing arts with modern theater. While referring to the origin of words and their history, he delved into performing arts as "things that are at the root of life." This is a great work depicting performing arts as "things that are at the root of life." This is a time when there are many major disasters and conflicts, so we ask again about the power of performing arts.
