In the *Okaasan wa Mizu no Naka* series: V.1 - *Okaasan wa Mizu no Naka* V.2 - *Piyo*

The author ( Mao Kano ) has always had a poor constitution. When she was a girl, she saw kabuki actors Tamasaburo Bando and Takao Kataoka (now Nizaemon Kataoka) on TV and decided that she wanted to see them live. Even though she has the impression that she is an idiot, when she heads to the Kabukiza Theater, she is instantly absorbed in her sparkling world. Starting from her own experience, she passionately talks about the charm of Kabuki while introducing the structure of the play, representative actors, and main stories.
