The\u003ci\u003e onnagata\u003c\/i\u003e, usually male actors who perform the roles of women, have been an important aspect of kabuki since its beginnings in the 17th century. In a \"labyrinth\" of gendering, the practice of men playing women's roles has affected the manifestations of femininity in Japanese society. In this case study of how gender has been defined and redefined through the centuries, Maki Isaka examines how the \u003ci\u003eonnagata\u003c\/i\u003e's theatrical gender \"impersonation\" has shaped the concept and mechanisms of femininity and gender construction in Japan. The implications of the study go well beyond disciplinary and geographic cloisters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maki Isaka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295995106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295995106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/12\/2016 pg. 18","brand":"Maki Isaka","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44055881056511,"sku":"9780295995106","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bdf1713-94c4-4459-86a4-b619d0516d21.jpg?v=1685038321","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/onnagata-maki-morinaga-9780295995106","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
