I read a play "Chichi to kuraseba (English title:The face of jizo)" by Inoue Hisashi

Fukuyoshi Mitsue is a young lady who lives in Hiroshima city.
She has a job in the local public library.
She is afraid of thunder and lightning so much.

One day she escaped to her house from a thundering, calling her father for help.
Her father was in the closet at the time and invite his daughter near him.
Her trustworthy, lovable father.
Every time she hopes that her father stays with her, he appears.
He know everything what happened to his daughter in a day, moreover, what she felt with events.
They talk about the recent events on Mitsue.

Recently, Mitsue got to know each other with a young gentle man.
The man seems to love her, and also Mitsue has a good feeling to him.
However, each time he tried to befriend with her, she has refused him.
Because she has no right to be happy.
She believes so.
In the 6th day of August, 1945, she survived alone.
Her friends couldn't.
Her father couldn't.
Mitsue believes she has no right to be happy over the terrible deaths of her people.

However, her father encourages her to have a relationship with the man.
Also he tells her that the deaths of her friends and himself wasn't Mitsue's fault.
He tells her she has a right to be happy, moreover she have to be happy.

I tried to write a short outline of the play.
How do you feel of that?
The play consists of conversations between the daughter and the father.
They talk in the dialect of Hiroshima and their talks are humorous for the nice character of the father.
So even it is a very sad story, you will enjoy it somehow.
Simultaneously, you can learn how people in Hiroshima suffered and survived at the severe life after dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
