In the 1970s and 1980s, KISHIDA Rio mainly focused on how the Emperor system affected Japanese women. However, in the 1990s, through collaborations with artists from other Asian countries, she extended her focus to non-Japanese Asian women who had been subjugated by Japan's colonial policy during the first half of the twentieth century. Bridging these two foci is Tsui no Sumika Kari no Yado (1988), a play about Kawashima Yoshiko, a Chinese princess in the Qing dynasty, who was adopted by a Japanese couple. This paper examines the way that women and the Emperor system are portrayed in this play, and how that contributes to our understanding of gender and nationality.
