The Sardine Seller's Net of Love, set in Kyoto in 1700, is the most popular kabuki play written by the brilliant and multi-talented Yukio Mishima.
It is the story of the improbable love between a humble sardine seller and the most glamorous courtesan in Kyoto. In order to approach her he disguises himself as a wealthy baron…
This play was a big hit when it premiered in 2010 presented by Willamette University, under Kominz’ direction. We had just one show in Portland, and audiences clamored for more!
