YPAM

The YPAM Direction program “ENCORE - violet” by Yuni Hong Charpe that examines “violence” by linking the 1923 massacre of Koreans in the Tokyo metropolitan area with the 1958 Komatsugawa Incident, and Snuunuu’s “100 Years to the sea” written and directed by Izumi Kasagi as part of YPAM Fringe were selected as finalists for the 69th Kishida Prize for Drama. This is the second consecutive year that a YPAM-directed work has been nominated, following OLTA’s “The Japanese Ideology” last year.

Other nominees include Kei Ando, Kotaro Ono, Takuya Kaneshima, Manami Kurahashi, Jiro Sato and Masanori Yamamoto.

The selection committee, comprising jury members including Satoko Ichihara, Makoto Ueda, Toshiki Okada, Kuro Tanino, Hideki Noda, Yukiko Motoya and Mikuni Yanaihara, will meet on March 13 at the Japan Publishers Club (Jimbocho, Tokyo).
