Human stories with themes such as "dutifulness," "parting" and "unfortunate," generally called "katei geki" (family plays), were popular from the end of the Taisho period to the beginning of the Showa period. Katei geki was influenced by the Osaka plays and portrayed lives of ordinary Okinawan people. Portraying poor people suffering from recession, it appealed to social problems, and moved the audience to tears by reflecting sad realities such as girls sold by their parents to brothels, hard working at spinning mills, and emigration overseas. |
