"With The Joy of Noh Moore has crafted a subtle, impressionistic ethnography of women who have found an opportunity to create meaningful lives through no performance ... It is a thoughtful and compelling contribution to a body of work that takes seriously the idea that the sociality to come is already emergent today." -- Journal of Japanese Studies "...an ideal text for instructors looking for a case study exploring aging, selfhood and the arts in contemporary Japan ... Moore avoids burdening the reader with lengthy theoretical discussions or specialist jargon, making this accessible to a variety of readers." -- Pacific Affairs "Moore's ethnography provides valuable insight into the experiences of later-life learners in Japan as well as the continuing survival of the teaching methods of traditional Japanese schools in the twenty-first century." -- Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, "Moore's ethnography provides valuable insight into the experiences of later-life learners in Japan as well as the continuing survival of the teaching methods of traditional Japanese schools in the twenty-first century." -- Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
