Yukio Mishima's contemporary Noh play.
In Hanjo, a young woman held emotionally captive in the home of an older woman has gone mad pining to see once more a young man she met for a brief moment at a railway station. The older woman seems to find a kind of fulfilment in keeping the despondent girl more and more dependent on her. It is a delicate piece, the text and lines of dialogue carefully crafted and put together.
