The word "gaichi" was once used by the Japanese to refer to "overseas." Shinko Kagaya's essay focuses on the political importance of gaichi with regard to performances of no theatre given in Asia in the half-century or so prior to World War II. She examines, among other things, the role that no may have played as an implement of colonization during that era.
