"The plays in this collection reflect, in a sense, the 'present moment' of Japan's society and theater as seen in the context of the past ten years.

However, they cannot be categorized as domestic drama or drama of passion." --from the Foreword by Sakate Yoji, president of the Japan Playwrights Association
