Nihon Essay / Zuihitsu (Japanese Essays / Essays) This book examines the depth and interest of Noh from the perspective of the "woman" depicted in the world of Noh. When asked what is interesting about Noh, it is hard to find an answer right away. But I am attracted by the fact that I don't know. Guided by such a mysterious charm, the author who has actually learned the Utai, Shimai, Kotsuzumi, and Gakuya work, writes a new introduction to Noh from his rich experience and knowledge of Japanese literature!

It is one of the most important requests for readers. Not only do I want you to read them in detail, but I also want readers to take time to read them.
