Since then, strange rents have appeared in the densely woven fabric of Japanese society, ranging from Emperor Hirohito's public disavowal of the "false conception" of his own divinity, and the sweeping abolition of the stiff-necked nobility, to the entirely novel proposition (in famed Article 24 of the constitution) of equal marital status for women.

The opera's few moments of pure horror, as when the executioner carries in the head of the Prince of Persia in Act I, were so skillfully blended into the fabric of stage movement that they were almost unnoticed...
