The Courier for Hell
''The Courier for Hell'' or ''Courier of Hell'' (''Meido no hikyaku 冥途の飛脚'') is a love-suicide play by the Japanese writer Chikamatsu Monzaemon, written in 1711. It follows a similar storyline to some of his other love-suicide plays, including ''The Love Suicides at Sonezaki'' and ''The Love Suicides at Amijima''. ''The Courier for Hell'' was based on real events that took place in Osaka in 1710.〔(Umegawa/Chubei )〕
==Plot==
''The Courier for Hell'' centers around Chubei, an adopted son of a courier located in Osaka, who is in love with the prostitute Umegawa. He begins using customers' money to buy out her contract before another man can do so. Chubei's friend Hachiemon attempts to stop Chubei's behavior by informing her fellow prostitutes and mistress what's going on, but it instead incites Chubei to break the seal on 300 gold pieces belonging to an important samurai, a crime punishable by death. The two escape Osaka together and head towards Chubei's hometown, dying together in the mountains.〔(Summary by Earphone Guide Service )〕
