Book excerpt: "The artifice of gender performance - sometimes playful, mostly conscientious - has for ninety-four years enthralled and entertained fans of the Takarazuka Revue, Japan's largest all-female musical theatre company. Adored by a predominantly female audience, its' dashing male-role players embody an 'ideal masculinity,' reflected and magnified by the overwrought femininity of their female-role counterparts." "Through analysis of the aspirations, endeavours and experiences of Takarazuka's creators, performers and fans, voiced by the author's years of participant observation, this volume elucidates a plethora of gender issues which have impacted upon the life-stages of women in Japan."--BOOK JACKET.
