The 51st Citizen's Stage Tono Monogatari Fantasy "Another Tale: The Old Woman Who Saw Paradise"

Tono city became known nationwide through Yanagita Kunio's "Tono Monogatari," but the city also has many old tales handed down, including "Kiimi Soshi" by Sasaki Kizen, a native of Tsuchibuchicho, Tono city, who had connections with Yanagita Kunio, and oral folk tales passed down by storytellers. Based on these old tales and the history of Tono, local residents are responsible for everything from the script to the cast and staff, creating a stage production of "Citizens' Stage: Tono Monogatari Fantasy."
