Seami

For Seami left behind him a considerable number of treatises and autobiographical fragments.

They establish, among other things, the fact that Seami wrote both words and music for most of the plays in which he performed.

The 14th century N-writer, Seami, insists that pivot-words should be used sparingly and with discretion.

It is probable that when he first saw Kwanami he also became acquainted with the son Seami, then a boy of twelve.

It is interesting to see how Seami deals with a subject which seems at first sight so impossible to shape into a N play.
