Career
He was the author of around 30 plays. Among his most famous plays is the play, which spelled the title of the Rajōmon gate by using the kanji shō for "life" (羅生門) rather than the original jō for "castle." This reading has been corrected back in modern Japanese, but left its trace in the title of later stories named and the film of Akira Kurosawa.
