“Nobuko Anan’s Contemporary Japanese Women’s Theatre and Visual Arts joins a fleet of scholarly books published in the last several decades on Japanese girls’ culture. Solidly researched, this study integrates Japanese, European, and American scholarship, combining in-depth analysis of specific theatre works and theoretical concepts as well as historical overviews. It enhances our understanding of Japanese performance since the 1970s and is a welcome addition to the field.” (Ayako Kano, Theatre Journal, Vol. 59 (4), December, 2017)
