"Japanese" Shakespeare as traditional, local and popular theatre

这项研究是该计划的一部分，该计划旨在将传统的、当地的和受欢迎的戏剧纳入“亚洲”（包括“日本”）接受莎士比亚的地图。目的是分析当前“跨文化”莎士比亚作品在全球或当地场景中的性质。为此，我将重点放在“新作能莎士比亚”项目上，作为传统“高雅文化”的一个例子，试图将莎士比亚作为“本源材料”之一，创造一个新的剧目。另一个重点是琉球戏和新宿舞团等冲绳戏剧中包含的莎士比亚主题，作为受其他亚洲国家影响而创作的当地和流行戏剧的例子。

This research is one part of the scheme to place the traditional, local and popular theatre into the map of the reception of Shakespeare in “Asia, “including “Japan”. The aim is to analyze the nature of the present “intercultural” Shakespeare productions seen in the global or local scenes. For this purpose, I have focused on the “Shinsaku Noh Shakespeare” project as one example of the traditional “high culture” trying to incorporate Shakespeare as one of the “Honzetsu” (source material) to create a new repertoire. Another focus was on Shakespeare themes included in the Okinawan theatre such as Ryukyuan Opera and Shinsaku Kumiodori as examples of the local and popular theatre created with the influence from other Asian countries.
