  Since the inception of the noh drama centuries ago, actors have resisted the notion that noh rests on natural talent alone. This book describes how memories of the past become traditions, and the role of these traditions in the institutional development of the noh theatre from its beginnings in the 14th Century through the late 20th Century.
