Stephen Sondheim’s kabuki‑style adaptation dramatizes Japan’s forced opening to the West in 1853. The narrative tracks the nation’s rapid Westernization through two protagonists—a samurai named Kayama and a humble fisherman, Manjiro—whose lives are upended when American warships arrive on Japanese shores.
