Izutsu or The Well-Cradle by Zeami

One of the most classic Japanese no-play belongs to Izutsu (Izutsu), or "The Well-Cradle" which is often translated in English. Perhaps the most influential no-theater playwright Zeami wrote, Izumizu was made in the Muromachi period at the end of the 14th century. Compared to other no play, it is relatively easy. Because you do not have to play only three characters. Citeau, Waki, and I story are typical of no drama (Araki and Bratz, 143).

The music we know today is promoted and formulated by people called Jimi in the Muromachi Period (1333-1573). This is Zeami's work that gained support for government art work. Unfortunately, Zeami did not agree with the government later and was exiled to Sado Island. After that, four major theatrical companies were established, sponsored by shrines and temples. In the Tokugawa period (1603-1867), the shogunate used it as an official ceremonial art and promulgated rules on governance. As a result, Neng is being standardized rather than innovation, emphasizing tradition. During this period, the fifth theater company was added and five major orchestras were produced.

No was born in the 14th century by a combination of Chinese Bugaku and Zen music. The agency team is under the auspices of shrines and temples, and its performance is more evangelical than entertainment. The noble of the present form can be traced back to the end of the 14th century. The main playwright / actor is Kanami and his son Zeami. Yoshimitsu Ashikaga (1358-1408) After playing for the general, they received a sponsorship and gained a higher social status than the accomplished actors. Zeami is writing a lot of scripts that are still running today, including making his views on classical Takasago and Well (Izutsu) and Zen and Drama as music foundation. In a sense, Neng Le represents the strict Buddhist lifestyle adopted by aristocrats, and Kabuki represents a simpler and more spiritual Shinto philosophy.
