Bunraku were a social satire, which appealed to all classes and ages. This
documentary looks at Ebiso, a modern performer from a 12th generation
family of Kabuki performers. He still regularly appears in Kabuki in
Asakusa and one of his more famous characters is portrayed and
explained in this dicumentary. Chikamatsu Monzaemon was a very

features at the end of this documenatry." -- FROM CONTAINER.
