Hardcover. 8vo. Alfred A. Knopf. 1957. 198 pgs. Illustrated with Black and White Plates. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities (sunning present to the DJ spine, some light chipping present to the edges of the DJ panels). No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards clean with no wear present. Japanese No drama is one of the great art forms that has fascinated people throughout the world. The late Yukio Mishima, one of Japan's outstanding post-war writers, infused new life into the form by using it for plays that preserve the style and inner spirit of No and are at the same time so modern, so direct, and intelligible that they could, as he suggested, be played on a bench in Central Park. Here are five of his No plays, stunning in their contemporary nature and relevance—and finally made available again for readers to enjoy.
