Based on "The Love Suicides at Amijima" by Chikamatsu Monzaemon, provide information that can be used to write a background on the author and discuss how it influenced him to write the story.

Chikamatsu Monzaemon was a drama writer who made his name writing historically themed dramas. Rather than being performed by actors in a theatre setting, Chikamatsu's work was chanted by storytellers. In many cases, his works were also told through rudimentary puppet shows and artistic backdrops. The author was born in 1652 in what is the modern-day Fukui prefecture of Japan. Although he became a famous playwright, Chikamatsu was born into a family of samurai warriors. After his father gave up his military career, Chikamatsu's family moved to Kyoto. It is not clear how Chikamatsu came to be interested in theatre, but he began writing Kabuki plays shortly after his move to Kyoto and eventually moved to Osaka to pursue his career. There are actually two similarly titled stories by Chikamatsu, including "The Love Suicides at Sonezaki" and "Double Suicide at Amijima." "The Love Suicides at Sonezaki" marked a turning point in Chikamatsu's career. Previously, his work had focused on embellished historical tales of the nobility. "The Love Suicides at Sonezaki" and his newer works focused on everyday people, including average families, criminals and merchants. The dramatic tale of a double suicide was so popular that it inspired the author to write many others like it, effectively dividing his body of work into two distinct genres. Years later, he wrote "Double Suicide at Amijima," which focused on similar subject matter. Chikamatsu was so moved by the event that he finished his work almost immediately after he learned of it. Although the inspiration for Chikamatsu's earlier works is largely unknown, it is clear that the report of the actual double suicide "The Love Suicides at Sonezaki" was based on was responsible for sparking his interest in contemporary drama. When you consider that his early works were embellished stories of actual events, it becomes clear that Chikamatsu was more heavily influenced by the world around him than by fantasy or other works of fiction. From that point on, he continued to write about both historical and contemporary drama.
