Following "Yuuten Ryokan," "Yuuten Ichiza," and "Yuuten Danchi," the long-awaited fourth production of "Koibumiya Ichiyo" is a masterpiece written by the famous actress Haruko Sugimura, which won the Yomiuri Theater Grand Prize and Best Production Award. The title has been changed to "Yujoten Writer," and the play will bring laughter and tears to the theater with the fun and chemistry that only Eri Watanabe and Midoriko Kimura can bring to the dialogue.

The story is about Natsu Maeda, who runs a love-letter agency but is shy about her own love, and Kiku Hanyu, a former geisha who has mastered both sweet and sour and lives a strong life.

The cast includes Eri Watanabe as Kogiku, who was thought to be dead; Midoriko Kimura as Natsu Maeda, who runs a substitute writing business; Toru Watanabe as Ryougetsu Kagami, a popular writer; Miho Owada as Momotaro, a geisha; Takuya Kageyama (IMPACTors/Jan's Jr.) as Sosuke Hanyu, who volunteers to become an apprentice; Yuka Harumoto as Hatsuko Tani, an editor; Jun Setomasa as Konohana, a courtesan; and Takeshi Ukaji as Ryoatsuki, an editor. (IMPACTors/Japanes Jr.), Yuka Harumoto as Hatsuko Tani, Masumi Seto as Konohana, Ryo Tsuki's apprentice Seijiro Katagiri as Jun Hasegawa, and Takeshi Ukaji as Takuma, an editor!

Set in Tokyo in 1910, the slightly complicated and single-minded upheaval that ensues is somehow endearing and invites laughter. Come to the Minamiza for a classic comedy that will make you laugh, cry, sing, and dance.
