What can I say? This was great! Some very interesting stories, written clearly. The opening of the first play gripped me immediately. I don’t know much about nō theatre but I’d say this is great even for beginners ! I like the way they gave Mashima a whole new feel (in a good way) he writes so well.

Read damask drum and lady aoi. Complex and haunting. Conservatism's dying breaths in Japan?

Having studied Noh plays extensively, I was interested in a study of Modern Noh in comparison to traditional Noh. I found the plays contained within this collection to be entirely unlike Noh in style, content, meaning, and philosophy. Surely a number may be based on previous Noh works, but to call writing such as this 'modern noh' is, I believe, an inaccurate description.
Not unreadable, but not what I was looking for. Again, I am wholly unimpressed by Mishima.
