Remarques & avis / Review — A great panorama of Kabuki theater at the turn of the century, including famous plays and leading onnagata like Tamasaburo, or lesser-know parts of the art, like make-up or music, with a profusion of fine, very colorful photographs by Shunji OKURA and concise, bilingual explicative texts: very well-done.

Un superbe panorama du théâtre Kabuki au tournant du siècle, avec les pièces célèbres et les onnagata majeurs tel Tamasaburo, ou des parties moins connues de l'art, comme le maquillage et la musique, avec abondance de belles photographies, très colorées, par OKURA Shunji et des textes explicatifs, bilingues, concis : très bien fait.
