Business Overview

This is a play which Ayano TEZUKA, who presides over our association, wrote and directed the script based on his own experience. Comprising a total of 16 episodes, the theme of this work is "the boundary between oneself and others." The main subjects are the structure of discrimination and the reality of the sex industry in a male-dominated society. Also, as Tezuka himself was from Fukushima Prefecture, the depiction of the Great East Japan Earthquake was vividly depicted.
