Chikamatsu
5 late plays
by Chikamatsu, Monzaemon, C. Andrew Gerstle, and Monzaemon Chikamatsu
"Chikamatsu Monzaemon (1653-1725), often referred to as "Japan's Shakespeare" and a "god of writers," was arguably the most famous playwright in Japanese history and wrote more than 100 plays for the kabuki and bunraku theaters. Today the plays of this major literary figure are performed on kabuki and bunraku stages as well as in the modern theater, and forty-nine films of his plays have been made, thirty-one of them from the silent era.".
"In this volume Gerstle translates five plays - four histories and one contemporary piece - never before available in English that complement other collections of Chikamatsu's work, revealing new dimensions to the work of this great Japanese playwright and artist."--BOOK JACKET.
