Overview
Nagato City in Yamaguchi Prefecture, where legend has it that Chikamatsu Monzaemon was born, is home to Akasaki Shrine, which houses an open-air theatre called Gakusajiki. In 1994, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the municipality, the Chikamatsu-in-Nagato '94 festival was held with various events including a commemorative lecture by Donald Keene, a local theatre performance and a puppetry show by the Children's Chikamatsu Theatre. For the festival opening, Namerikawa Goro directed this performance, which made use of the entire Gakusajiki theatre.
