Chouchou-san SP: Part 1 Drama Notes
Here are some notes from Chouchou-san SP...
There are a lot actually but due to lack of time I'll just mention only a few important ones as briefly as possible...
(Thanks to danburi for pointing some notes from it as well!)
"Madame Chrysanthème" by Pierre Loti (1887). It is the precursor of 'Madame Butterfly' short story written by John Luther Long (1898) and later on as the opera of Puccini. Loti did marry a Japanese woman. She was referred to as 'O-Kiku-san' but her real name was "O-Kane-san." (above pic: source)
For more info on the real Chouchou-san, I recommend: "Madame Butterfly: Japonisme..." by Jan van Rij.
