Noh the classical theatre of Japan [videorecording] : - [East Lansing, Mich.] : Michigan State University, [1980]. - 1 videodisc (29 min.) : sd., col. ; 4 3/4 in.

Akiro Matsui, professional actor and master-teacher of the Kita Noh School of Tokyo, performs excerpts from the plays BENKEI ON THE BRIDGE and THE LADY HAN. The excerpts illustrate widely contrasting aspects of the Noh actor's art. From BENKEI ON THE BRIDGE, he performs vigorous physical movements of an aggressive ghost, and from THE LADY HAN, the slow, subtle, and intense actions of a love-sick woman. The latter is a masked role. In a short interview, Mr. Matsui discusses how masks are used to develop the basic emotions of a character.
