Offers a better understanding of a nexus of stories, characters and arts central to medieval and early modern Japan, and particularly the significant variety of ways plays of the no theatre portray them.
This volume is organized to roughly follow the order of events presented in the Kakuichi-bon variant of the Heike. Essays and translations focus on a series of major events from the Heike: Kiyomori's rise (the Giō cycle of plays); Yoshinaka's push to the capital; the flight of the Heike and the battle of Ichi-no-tani; and the aftermath of the war. Each event features a series of one to three plays preceded by essays.
