La Tradition secrète du nô

Résumé

The Flowering Spirit is a new translation of Fushikaden, the fifteenth-century classic text by Zeami, founder of the No theater. Written sometime between 1400 and 1418, Fushikaden became a secret, sought-after guide to life for Zeami's acting troupe. Even 200 years later, the only people with access to this work were actors and the samurai class. Not until the latter part of the 19th century did Fushikaden gradually begin to make its way into the hands of the general public.
