「Fushikaden」 Zeami

AuthorJP1363 — 1443

The master who perfected Japanese Noh theater. Together with his father Kan'ami, he elevated Noh to the level of fine art, and in Fushikaden he constructed a theoretical system of theatrical aesthetics — making him East Asia's first systematic theater theorist.

“Even growing old and sick, I merely complete the aesthetics of Yugen without forgetting the desperate spirit of my first stage.”

“I am steadying my breath to the rhythm of Noh.”
“Knowing one's own limits is the mind of a master.”

Deploy

“Let the flower bloom — here, on this very stage!”
“Press forward with the power of emptiness!”

“I have won the hearts of the audience — that is the true flower.”
“Emptiness has filled the stage.”

Draw
