Description
[Machine Translation] During the Genroku period (1688-1704), merchants with economic power created a vibrant merchant culture that is often referred to as Japan's Renaissance. The writer Chikamatsu Monzaemon emerged like a comet. In this work, Chikamatsu Monzaemon depicts in his masterly narrative style a human drama of duty and humanity, with the theme of love between a man and a woman who desperately try to live like human beings in a fatalistic feudal system. This volume contains five of Chikamatsu's masterpieces, including "Deze Kagekiyo," "Underworld Flying Feet," and "Shinju Ten no Amijima," which have been performed in kabuki and ningyo joruri (bunraku) and continue to stir the hearts of the Japanese people to this day.
