"Nishikie Edosugata Hatamoto to Machiyakko (The Color Print of Edo: Hatamoto to Machiyakko)" A cheerful period drama, sprinkled with comical scenes, tells the story of a loyal handsome Edo servant who fights to help his older brother marry the woman he loves. The star of this film, Utaemon Ichikawa, gained enormous popularity for his portrayal of a cheerful and chivalrous man. Utaemon's gorgeous costumes are not to be missed.
"Dokuro (Skull)" A rare piece that depicts the tragic fate of a Christian lord who fought for his faith in the Edo period. Utaemon Ichikawa is extraordinary in the memorable final scenes, in which he takes on his enemy with a gash in his forehead and a wild, unkempt mane. |
