Description

Explore the history of Japanese sung narratives with this scholarly work from Routledge. Part of the SOAS Studies in Music series, Alison McQueen Tokita provides a deep look into how these musical stories have persisted across ten centuries. Through various case studies, this book examines the evolution of different genres and the factors that led to their development and change over time. This text examines how performed narratives act as a shared cultural heritage. By looking at how these stories were retold and recycled in different formats, the research shows how they helped build a common identity and a sense of community belonging.
