(Commentary by Haruhiko Suzuki) The people connected to the prestigious "Nakamuraya" in the Kabuki world speak of their passionate feelings for the three generations of Nakamuraya - the human charm of the seventeenth Kanzaburo Nakamura, who left behind many famous performances. Kankuro's enthusiasm for the stage, who will lead the Kabuki world in the 21st century. And the brothers Kantaro and Shichinosuke's unwavering passion for Kabuki. The art and life dramas that cannot be seen on stage unfold with many episodes, making this a moving book.

This is a book that I highly recommend to those who are interested in Nakamuraya. Many interesting episodes are written. To understand almost everything about what Kabuki is and what Kabuki actors are, I recommend reading this book together with "Kanzaburo Nakamura's Dressing Room Stories" (Yoko Seki). I felt that there were hints for the future development of Kabuki.
