Book excerpt: The attire of the feudal lords and ladies of old Japan, warriors, priest, courtesans, Edo-period dandies geisha, footmen, farmers— in fact, the whole array of Kabuki's colorful characters-is discussed in fascinating detail in this Japanese Kabuki book. From kimono and armor to undergarments, from wigs to foot gear, from swords to hair garments—no aspect of costume accessories is overlooked. Textiles and textile designs, in all their profusion of weaves, colors, and patterns, are carefully taken note of, and a number of important traditional designs are illustrate. Make-up and headdress varying formats of costume for specific roles, styles of tying the obi—all are expertly described. Of the numerous books in English dealing with the Kabuki theater of Japan, none so far has devoted itself exclusively to costume.

Download or read book Kabuki written by Aurélie Samuel and published by Editions ArtLys. This book was released on 2012 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Le kabuki est l'une des plus anciennes formes du théâtre traditionnel japonais. Apparu au début de l'époque d'Edo, cet art dramatique, toujours très vivant, se fonde sur un répertoire de pièces codifiées, écrites spécifiquement ou bien adaptées du théâtre nô, de récits traditionnels, et surtout du bunraku, théâtre de marionnettes. Ces représentations sont exclusivement jouées par des acteurs masculins, dont les fameux onnagata spécialisés dans les rôles de femmes, auxquels les spectateurs japonais vouent un véritable culte. Les costumes, extravagants dans leur conception, somptueux dans le choix des motifs et des tissus, et richement colorés, occupent une place centrale. Ils répondent à une symbolique très précise, révélatrice de la personnalité du rôle. Présentant les plus beaux costumes de kabuki accompagnés de leurs accessoires, illustré d'estampes anciennes et de photos d'acteurs, cet ouvrage rend hommage à cet art dramatique qui élève le théâtre et la danse à leur plus haut niveau. Il a été publié à l'occasion de l'exposition Kabuki Costumes du théâtre japonais, présentée à la Fondation Pierre Berge - Yves Saint Laurent."--P. [4] of cover.

Download or read book Onnagata written by Maki Isaka and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kabuki is well known for its exaggerated acting, flamboyant costumes and makeup, and unnatural storylines. The onnagata, usually male actors who perform the roles of women, have been an important aspect of kabuki since its beginnings in the 17th century. In a “labyrinth” of gendering, the practice of men playing women’s roles has affected the manifestations of femininity in Japanese society. In this case study of how gender has been defined and redefined through the centuries, Maki Isaka examines how the onnagata’s theatrical gender “impersonation” has shaped the concept and mechanisms of femininity and gender construction in Japan. The implications of the study go well beyond disciplinary and geographic cloisters.
