By examining the life and career of the most prominent noh practitioner of the fury noh composer, Kanze Kojirō Nobumitsu (1435-1516), the author showcases the critical presence of the late Muromachi period in the history of noh.
Another Stage provides students of nō with tools to appreciate Nobumitsu, his plays, and his time.... [The] chapters portray the nō when it was clearly a living and vibrant art, motivated by the creativity of its writers and actors, as well as the appetites of the broad-based audience that supported them. Another Stage paints a picture very different from what moderns usually think of as constituting the nō and will be useful for students and scholars interested in this often overlooked period of theater history.
