  • Th Century Japan: Culture and Society

    C Andrew GerstleBOOK18th Century Japan2012

    The period of Japanese history before the advent of industrialisation and modernism is of tremendous interest. The essays in this collection show a fascination with the social context behind the development of aesthetics, drama, language, art and philosophy, whether it be the world of the pleasure quarters or the Shogun's court

  • The Culture of Play: Kabuki and the Production of Texts

    Open AccessC Andrew GerstleARTICLEOral tradition2005

    In this essay, I will make a case that performance in Japan has been a catalyst for the artistic production of physical objects, both visual and literary texts. Furthermore, I shall argue that it is more useful to consider such physical texts not simply as representations of performance. They, of course, may have been created directly in response to a performance (or in anticipation of a performance), but as physical objects they became something…

  • The culture of play: Kabuki and the Production of Texts

    Open AccessC Andrew GerstleARTICLEBulletin of the School of…2003

    This article examines the role of performance (defined in its broadest sense) in Japanese literary culture, specifically the relationship between performance and the production of physical texts, both script and illustration. It postulates the thesis that performance has been an essential part of artistic creation even among highly literate artists/writers in the genres of poetry (waka, renga, haikai, kyōka), Nō and kabuki drama. A case is made t…

  • Heroic Honor: Chikamatsu and The Samurai Ideal

    C Andrew GerstleARTICLEHarvard Journal of Asiatic Studies1997Cited by: 1

    Une analyse detaillee des dernieres oeuvres du dramaturge japonais Chikamatsu Monzaemon (1653-1725) montre que, bien que travaillant pour un art populaire loin des centres du pouvoir, il suivait egalement la tendance du discours en cours sur la raison d'etre du gouvernement Bakufu et de la classe des samourais. Une etude recente montre que les pieces du dramaturge et leurs sources historiques avaient pour principal objet le systeme politique en c…

  • Circles of Fantasy: Convention in the Plays of Chikamatsu

    James R Brandon, C Andrew GerstleARTICLEJournal of Japanese Studies1988

    The vibrant merchant culture of Tokugawa Japan gave rise to many new forms of art, none more fascinating than the puppet theater, Jōruri, created chiefly by Chikamatsu Monzaemon, the foremost playwright of popular Japanese drama. In this analysis of Chikamatsu's artistry, Dr. Gerstle focuses on features hitherto neglected by Western scholars the musical structure of Jōruri, integral to the form, mood, and movement of the drama. For extensive tran…

  • Flowers of Edo: Eighteenth-Century Kabuki and Its Patrons

    C Andrew GerstleARTICLEAsian Theatre Journal1987

    At Tokyo's National Theatre, kabuki plays conceived and premiered during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are performed today, yet the audience's experience is radically different from that of the period before 1868. Patrons of kabuki in Edo (Tokyo) in 1770 would not have felt comfortable at all in having their theatre so close to the seat of government (in view of the Diet and Imperial Palace and next to the Supreme Court) nor would they …
