About This Item
New York, Tokyo and Kyoto: Weatherhill/Tankosha, 1971. Stated First Edition. Performing Arts of Japan: V.. 8vo. 8-1/2" x 6-3/16". Beige blind stamped buckram. 207 pp. Previous owner's bookplate on free front endpaper. Otherwise very good to fine condition./Dust jacket is a little faded along spine and top edge. Otherwise condition is fine.. Profusely illustrated in color and many black and white photos.. This book introduces Gagaku from the viewpoint of the general reader who wishes to know the essential facts about it. The approach is mainly a visual one, as the generous selection of illustrations makes clear. Musicians and dancers, scenes from Gagaku performances, masks, costumes, musical instruments, paintings from Gagaku history - all these are pictured here to complement a pleasantly informative text that traces the development of Gagaku, explains its orchestral and dance techniques, interprets its aesthetics, and re-creates for the reader the atmosphere in which it is performed.
