Kabuki Theatre

If you want to understand as much as possible about Kabuki, The Kabuki Theatre by Earle Ernst is an authoritative guide. The book explains everything lucidly and painstakingly-the background, the facts, the emotions, both from a Japanese and a Western poin 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
