The Noh costume according to program! Traditional performing arts of Japan

The Appreciation of NOH
 
Detailed looks at important NOH characters with large detailed display photography.
 
A fantastic reference for exquisite NOH costumes, and masks, with detailed captioned images showing the names of important costume elements.  The main element names are written in Kanji accompanied by phonetic Hiragana, so you can read the terms with elementary level Japanese, or by using a Hiragana pronunciation chart easily found on-line.  The character portrait page headings also have the same Kanji / Hiragana combination.
 
Also shows dressing preparation sequences for several characters.
 
This is a really beautiful piece of Japanese publishing, and a very worthy addition to your library of fine cultural reference books.
