Description:
Till a few years ago very little was known about the authorship and early history of the Japanese No Plays. The recent researches of Japanese scholars have almost dissipated this darkness. Most important of all has been the re-discovery of the lost Works of Seami, an actor-author of the fourteenth century. His book has not only removed many misconceptions about the early history of No, but is in itself one of the most interesting treatises on drama which exists. In the Introduction I have summarized the results of these native researches and have translated considerable portions of Seami’s Works, which, though they were discovered in 1908, have not hitherto been mentioned by any European writer except Peri, who, writing a study of NO as it exists to-day, had occasion to allude to them only incidentally. The reader will, I think, find it convenient to glance at some of the translations of plays before he embarks on the Introduction. Though English versions of NO can at best be little more than makeshifts, I think I have managed, hone wo orite, " breaking my bones " (to use Seami’s expression),to retain in one or two passages in each play something of the original beauty. Hagoromo, Ikeniye and Hachi no Ki were read before the Japan Society, Hatsuyuki appeared in Poetry (Chicago),and a passage from 115kazei was printed in the New Statesman. I am deeply grateful to Miss Sybil Pye, who read the proofs and made many corrections.
