During his diplomatic residency in Japan, from 1921 to 1927, Paul Claudel encountered the Nô, a form of traditional theatre. It corresponded to what he had been envisaging: a new form for synthesising the arts. This book casts light on the originality with which he interpreted and adapted the Nô in his own work.

Docteur en littérature et civilisation française, Ayako Nishino Saigusa a soutenu sa thèse, intitulée “L’Influence du théâtre nô sur la synthèse des arts de Paul Claudel”, à l’université Paris-Sorbonne. Elle est maître assistante à la faculté des lettres de l’université Keio, à Tokyo.
