| Research Abstract |
How did Japanese Performing Arts transmit to the West and how were they accepted there in the transitional period of the 20^<th> century? The aim of my research was to illuminate this period by validating the factual evidence of cultural exchange and humanistic network around the person of Yone Noguchi. Japan's interest in Japanese Performing Art found inspiration in the Western intellectuals who generated a respect for Symbolism, Mysticism, Orientalism, and then geared up the artistic movement of Modernism, which was inextricably linked with Greek, Classicism, the movement of returning to tradition. Through the investigation of the intellectual relationship and cultural human networks between the Japanese and English-speaking-spheres, I interpreted the status quo of the mutual interaction of the modern performing arts and tried to carve out a frame of reference for a cross-cultural history of the 20^<th> century.
