Nāṭya‐śāstra (English spelling)

Japanese: ナーティヤ・シャーストラ(英語表記)Nāṭya‐śāstra
Nāṭya‐śāstra (English spelling)
A Sanskrit treatise on classical Indian drama. It is said to have been written by the sage Bharata, and is therefore usually called Bharatiya Nāṭya-śāstra (Bharata's Dramatic Book). Its date of creation is unknown, but it is thought to date to the 3rd century. The several extant manuscripts are all incomplete, and their contents vary. It covers a variety of theories on Sanskrit drama, including the types of plays, the structure of the play, the plot, characters, acting, terminology, actors, theater, costumes, dance, music, and even rhythm, rhetoric, and poetry. It is considered the oldest and most authoritative work of its kind.
