Abstract
From time to time ATJ publishes accounts of major symposia dealing with Asian theatre. In the present case, James R. Brandon provides an excellent account of an international kabuki-related conference held in Tokyo in 1996. Numerous scholars from around the globe attended this important event, and we are proud to have this detailed record of their contributions in our pages. James R Brandon needs little introduction to readers of ATJ, of which he was the founding editor. Professor of Asian theatre at the University of Hawai'i, Manoa, he is the author or editor of many books on Asian theatre and is the preeminent scholar of kabuki in America. His productions of kabuki and kabuki-influenced plays (some from his own hand) are among the finest to be seen in the West. This report first appeared, in Japanese, as Kokusai Shinpojium: Kabuki, Hensen to Tenbo no Naiyo to Seika (Substance and Results of the International Symposium: Kabuki, Changes and Prospects), in Gekkan Bunkazei (Cultural Properties Monthly) 401 (2) (1996): 19-25.
