Mishima’s play is called Dojoji, and takes place in a secondhand furniture shop. The Dealer has organized a private auction for some very rich customers. He is selling a giant wardrobe, big enough to fit a double bed in. The Dealer explains that the wardrobe is up for auction because it belonged to one of the rich families who "has gone down a bit in the world" since the end of WWII, so they must sell their furniture. The wardrobe is very impressive, and soon the bidding hits three million Yen. However, just as the bidding reaches a climax, a woman enters the scene, bidding only three thousand Yen for the wardrobe.
