Tragedy and comedy - Higekikigeki

Japanese: 悲劇喜劇 - ひげききげき

A theater magazine. First published in October 1928. Kishida Kunio was the editor-in-chief, with Sakanaka Masao and Nakamura Masayoshi as assistants. It became a forum for promoting Kishida's theater movement, but ceased publication with the 10th issue in July 1929. The second issue was launched in November 1947. Published by Hayakawa Publishing. Endo Shingo, Nishizawa Yotaro, Yagi Ryuichiro, and Hayakawa Kiyoshi were among the editors, and the aim was to contribute theoretically to the "establishment of true modern drama." After a year and a half of suspension, it was relaunched with the January 1966 issue. Supervised by Iwata Toyoo, and edited by Ozaki Koji, Toita Koji, and Hayakawa Kiyoshi, it strived to introduce original plays and foreign dramas, and switched to a feature format from the January 1971 issue.
