More about the book

Kishida Kunio played a pivotal role in the evolution of modern Japanese drama, breaking away from the flamboyant kabuki tradition. His work drew inspiration from Western psychological dramas, particularly those of Ibsen and Chekhov, allowing for a fresh perspective in the genre. This shift not only modernized Japanese theatre but also matured its narrative and thematic depth, reflecting a significant transformation in the artistic landscape of Japan.
