わが魂は輝く水なり―源平北越流誌
Waga Tamashii wa Kagayaku Mizu Nari: Genpei Hokuetsu Ryushi is a play in which Kunio Shimizu reimagines the northern Echigo front of the Genpei conflict through the language of modern theatre. The voices and bodies of history's defeated figures emerge in poetic, forceful dialogue charged with the memory of war and the passions of those moving toward ruin.

Review Summaries
-
Award records identify it as one of Shimizu's major prize-winning works. Although it is a historical play, its force lies less in reconstruction than in foregrounding the voices and physical presence of people on the side of defeat.
