In commemoration of 80 years since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Set in Hiroshima three years after the dropping of the atomic bomb on 6 August 1945, Mitsue, a young librarian, arrives home to find her father Takezo there. The Face of Jizo centres on a father and daughter in the aftermath of war. Tender, beautiful and seasoned with moments of familial humour, this acclaimed Japanese play is a tale of courage, first love, spirited fathers, and learning to embrace the ghosts of the past.
