Among the longest continuously performed dramatic forms in the world, no and kyogen have a wealth of connections to Japanese culture more broadly construed. The current book brings together under one cover the most important elements of the history and culture of the two arts, profiting from the research of both Japanese and non-Japanese scholars, and offering many new insights.

It takes a more ambitious view of no and kyogen than previous studies and represents the achievements of a diverse range of scholars from a broad range of disciplines. (This is a 2-volume work).
