Scene from the No Play Yuya

Amsterdam, Netherlands

The subject of No is not daily life, but rather a higher reality. In order to also elevate the play visually above the commonplace, everything is stylized. For instance, the character of the personages is indicated with a mask, and here an oxcart is depicted plainly yet effectively with a bamboo frame around which white fabric is wound.
