Question
A youth created by this author quotes the proverb “envy none above you, despise none below” in response to a priest’s compliment about how “remarkably elegant” it is for “such people” to play the flute. This author’s aphorism “When you keep a secret, a flower blooms” appears in a treatise that praises child actors for naturally displaying a form of “mysterious beauty.” In this author’s rewrite of a predecessor’s work, two sisters admire the moon’s appearance in their pails of brinewater and mistake a (*) tree for their shared lover. A warrior-turned-priest reconciles with a young noble’s ghost in one of several plays by this author set near the Bay of Suma. This author’s revision of Wind in the Pines builds on the work of his father, with whom he pioneered an austere genre of masked drama. For 10 points, name this author of Atsumori and son of Kan’ami, the foremost writer of Noh plays. ■END■
