概要	After the gigantic earthquake that hit the Tohoku area of Japan on March 11, 2011, Japanese theatre makers faced the dilemma of having to give shape to two totally contradictory things: a longing for an end, a closure, on the one hand, and the lingering sense of anxiety, just like the ongoing and unending process of nuclear disaster, on the other. Although Shakespeare productions in Japan were slow in responding to this call, Yukio Ninagawa managed to tackle this in his production of Shakespeare's Cymbeline (April 2012) through the use of a pine tree on the stage. The paper discusses how his pine tree came to bear double meaning by examining the references it makes to the so-called "miraculous pine tree" in Rikuzen Takata, a town which was devastated by the 3/11 tsunami, and the noh play Matsukaze.
