- Abstract
This paper deals with the issue of aging as reflected in the Noh theatre repertory. It analyses plays about elderly women based on the aesthetic concept of the beauty of old age (rojaku) as one of the forms of the ephemeral. The paper also offers an insight into their staging - the beauty of an aging actors acting. The fact that there are three plays revolving around the character of an aged female poet is explained by the conceptual attitude of their author. As a side product, this paper reveals some morphological connections in the staging of the plays Sumidagawa and Sotoba Komachi, which could have an effect on the dating of the plays and the identification of their author.
