Five Modern No Plays (Vintage International)
A Vintage International paperback of Yukio Mishima's modern adaptations of the Noh tradition, first published in English in 1957. The plays are short, severe, and steeped in the aesthetic values Mishima spent his life refining. The cover design is spare, and the paper has the matte finish typical of Vintage International, with the oversized format that makes the book feel more ceremonial than casual. Vintage International gave it a uniform look with other world literature titles of the period. Ideal reader: the reader who finds Western realism overstuffed and wants a theatre of masks, stillness, and abrupt violence.
