Kabuki, a world-renowned form of traditional Japanese performance art incorporating music, dance and mime, returns to Portland State this spring. The Sardine Seller's Net of Love, the most popular kabuki play written by the brilliant and multi-talented Yukio Mishima, tells the story of the improbable love between a humble sardine seller and the most glamorous courtesan in Kyoto.
PSU is the only American university to stage a traditional Japanese production every year under the direction of Larry Kominz, who was awarded the prestigious Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon, for his contributions to the introduction of Japanese culture in the U.S.
