Contemporary Japanese Womens Theatre and Visual Arts: Performing Girls Aesthetics by Nobuko Anan

Contemporary Japanese Womens Theatre and Visual Arts Reviews

Nobuko Anans Contemporary Japanese Womens Theatre and Visual Arts joins a fleet of scholarly books published in the last several decades on Japanese girls culture. Solidly researched, this study integrates Japanese, European, and American scholarship, combining in-depth analysis of specific theatre works and theoretical concepts as well as historical overviews. It enhances our understanding of Japanese performance since the 1970s and is a welcome addition to the field. (Ayako Kano, Theatre Journal, Vol. 59 (4), December, 2017)
