Zen aesthetics in Japanese theatre

Author: Sato, Shozo

Keywords: Japanese drama
Japanese literature

Issue Date: 1972

Publisher: Sangeet Natak Akademi, New Delhi

Description: Zen philosophy on the Japanese theatre arts can be understood in comparison with the western approach to the performing arts. The Zen aesthetic in Japanese theatre permits great creativity in dramatic expression because the artistic continuum is based upon imagination rather than reality. This philosophy necessarily makes of the arts an expressive and imaginative experience.
