"This paper deals with the translation of Matsuo Suzuki's play Mashin Nikki, which was commissioned by the Japan Foundation as part of the Japan Foundation Project for the Translation of Contemporary Dramatic Works. Following some background information about the play and the playwright, the paper goes on to look at specific problems encountered in the translation process. One of these is the creation of acoustic masks, or replications in English of the style and speech patterns of each character. The second is the challenge of maintaining the tone of the original play in an English translation."
