Summary/Abstract: This paper proposes to analyse the themes of the plays and the occasions on which they were produced , and to draw some conclusions regarding the effects of these representations in the theatrical and cultural life of Japon as well as internationally. We argue that, not only within the Japonese tradition but also on the current cultural and social stage, they have a profound role in mediating between individuals and their roots -pacifying the spirit of the dead- alleviating crises and addressing common issues, with a deep cathartic effect.
