Blood and Art: The Resolve of Non-Hereditary Onnagata Actors

This profound book delves into the world of Kabuki theater, specifically focusing on the non-hereditary onnagata actors. It explores the immense dedication, challenges, and "blood and art" (chi to gei) required for male performers who embody female roles without familial lineage in the traditional Kabuki system. Readers will gain insight into the profound "resolve" (kakugo) and personal sacrifices made by these unique artists as they navigate their careers and artistic expression. Note: The text is entirely in Japanese. Brand New Japanese Edition.
