近松門左衛門
Namiki Sōsuke (; 1695 – c. 1751), also known as Namiki Senryū, was a prominent Japanese playwright who wrote for both "kabuki" and "bunraku" (puppet theater). He produced around 47 bunraku plays, nearly 40 of them composed for "jōruri", a particular form of musical narrative, and 10 kabuki plays. He is considered the second greatest Japanese playwright after Chikamatsu Monzaemon.
