About
Jump to
Akimoto Matsuyo (秋元松代, 2 January 1911 – 24 April 2001) was one of Japan's leading playwrights of post war Japan, and most respected as a realist Japanese playwright. She was known for her shingeki plays, but had written some classical puppet bunraku and kabuki dramas, and later became a scriptwriter for both radio and television shows. Along with Akimoto's childhood, World War II played a significant role in her career. As a realist playwright, she used her work to make political statements in order to warn the greater Japanese community that the government was trying to continue their pre-war imperial system which was fulfilled with capitalism, militarism, and patriarchy.
