“One person can do a little. Two can do a little more. Three people together can do even more for others.”

Inoue Hisashi made this simple statement on Japanese television on 7 October 2004 from Bologna, Italy, a city with a radical political tradition that he had been fascinated by for 30 years. To my mind, it symbolizes his motivation for his writing and his faith in the goodness of human nature. Inoue, Japan's most brilliant and popular modern playwright was, above all, a humanist.
