Business Overview
In this modern age, where mechanization has advanced and we have come to an age where we can buy things without having to exchange words, I would like the Japanese of today to see and feel how they themselves grow and change regardless of age through communication through words and conversations with others. While portraying the growth and independence of women, the disparity between urban and rural areas exists regardless of country or time, and these messages are presented as a comedy full of humor within the smallest unit of "society" called "family."

Profile
[Jijinkai Shinsha]
In 2007, the theater production body Jijinkai (chaired by director Koichi KIMURA) was dissolved. In May 2012, it was launched as Jinjinkai Shinsha with the aim of passing the baton to the next generation and creating plays through various exchanges that transcend the boundaries of generations and genres. Through a long-running performance in a small space, he conveys to the audience the real thrill of the play.
