Abstract

[Historiographical issues about the narrative of noh’s development in this period are questioned. Moving away from a traditional perspective that focuses solely on the actor/playwright Kanze Zeami, whose writings provide much of what is known about the period, a broader picture of noh in this period is drawn. A number of types of performance occasion are described and related patronage, including that of the court, religious institutions, and warrior leaders, described. Finally, using recent research, Zeami’s role within these contexts is discussed.]
