- Classical theater
- Japanese puppet theatre
- Dramatic literature
- Edo period
Chikamatsu Monzaemon (1653-1724) is known as the foremost playwright of the early modern period. Chikamatsu's plays, which transcended societal values such as status and honor and focused on human expression, are highly regarded in and outside of Japan. Chikamatsu left behind a large body of work as a playwright of kabuki and Japanese puppet theatre, and with Japanese puppet theatre in particular, wrote the first long-format tragedy in Japan. This class will focus on works such as "Kagekiyo Victorious" and "The Love Suicides at Sonezaki" to reveal the ideas and theater techniques that underlie Chikamatsu's works.
