13th OKINAWA INTERNATIONAL MOVIE FESTIVAL

Story

Sentaro Kurahashi, who launched Shinkokugeki together with Shojiro Sawada left the group due to illness, and the second Shinkokugeki was launched in Osaka. From this arose Denjiro Okouchi (at the time Isamu Masachika, who came to be known as Jiro Muromachi), who starred in the two roles of Jirocho Shimizu and Kira no Nikichi.
The director is Kichiro Tsuji. He competed at Nikkatsu Kyoto with Daisuke Ito in sword fighting films. He was great at sword action, aiming for leftist trendy films.
The story involves the fall of a bloodied Namerikawa no Hachigoro when the Shimizu family are drinking sake after returning from Ise worship. The cowardly Otogoro and Saheita Kajiwara are blamed, and the younger brother Tomoemon plans to avenge the death with Komasa Daimasa etc. by hitting the Otogoro family. However, fearing that a lieutenant has turned, he visits Kira no Nikichi and asks Jirocho to apologize. Then Chokichi comes from Kobe and he cries when the "Kojinyama" territory inherited from his parents is stolen by sibling Toku Ano. Nikichi's wife Okiku is the younger sister of Toku Ano.
