The Mainichi is holding an international essay contest on the theme of Inoue Hisashi's play, “The Face of Jizo,” for young people. To commemorate this contest, we have asked the play's translator and long-time friend of the late playwright to write about him. We publish that here, together with Inoue's prologue, the first part of the play and profiles of both playwright and translator.

Details of the essay contest and information for participants may be seen here.
