Limited to 100 copies and most likely printed privately. An interesting little booklet summarising the Noh play Aoino-Oue. Aoino-Oue (Lady Aoi) is a Muromachi period Japanese Noh play based on the character Lady Aoi from the Heian period novel Tale of Genji. It is an example of the fourth category of "miscellaneous" Noh plays. AoinoOue was the first of many Noh plays based on the Tale of Genji. It is sometimes attributed to Zeami Motokiyo; the extant version of the text is likely a reworking of a version by a contemporary, Inuo. Quite rare!.
