YesAsia Editorial Description

Though many people tend to think of Japanese theater in terms of traditional performances like kabuki and noh, Japan also provides a vibrant, if oft-overlooked arena for contemporary theater. One of Japan's most celebrated playwrights and directors, Oriza Hirata has been a key figure in reinventing Japanese contemporary theater and his works have been staged throughout the world. This DVD captures Oriza's most representative production, Tokyo Notes, the winner of Japan's prestigious Kishida Kunio Award in 1995. Subtitled in six languages, this release provides a rare opportunity to experience contemporary Japanese theater.

The play is set in 2004 in an art museum which is currently exhibiting a European painting that was sent to Japan for safekeeping because of war in Europe. The painting provides a humble backdrop to various concurrent conversations, as people discuss minor topics and worries in their daily lives, oblivious to greater problems in the world. One particular conversation follows a group of siblings debating who should take care of their parents. Subtle and arresting, the play pays homage to Ozu Yasujiro's Tokyo Story in its depiction of the dissolving Japanese family.

１９９４年に初演された『東京ノート』は、日常生活に潜む静かな深淵を描き出し、第３９回岸田國士戯曲賞を受賞した。平田オリザ・青年団の代表作となったこの作品は、その後も色褪せることが無いばかりか、ますます、現代日本を見つめる視点が高く評価され、国内での再演を重ねるとともに、９ヶ国語に翻訳され、世界の１５カ国で上演されている。また、現在、『東京ノート』は欧米のいくつかの大学で日本語の上級教材として取り上げられいるが、それは、平田オリザの現代日本を捉える視線が、非常に深い人間観察に支えられていることを現している。
