Summary:	This volume makes available in English a key text for our understanding of Kabuki, viz. "Kezairoku, Sakusha no Shikih" (Valuable Notes on Playwriting, A Playwrights' Methodology, written 1801), being the only extant treatise fully devoted to the subject of Kabuki playwriting. The author addresses the history, methodology, and practitioners of Kabuki playwriting of the Edo Period (1603-1867). The reader will find a critical examination of Kezairoku, and discussions regarding the connections between the Kabuki and literary worlds of Edo Japan, and between playwriting and the oral arts.
