Hey /lit/, I was reading this today and realized I know pretty much nothing about Japanese theatre. I need some recommendations, be it non-fiction, fiction, maybe youtube videos even.

But as for this collection, my favorite so far is definitely the first, Sotoba Komachi. I've still got The Lady Aoi and Hanjo to read too, but the first has captured me the most so far. I can still recognize the basic No themes in it (that I learned from the introduction), and yet Mishima gives it this surreal, modern kind of loneliness. It left me questioning, and I liked that.

Also we can have a Japanese lit general, since I'm not sure Japanese theatre by itself will keep the thread bumped enough to get any recs.
