About A Ghost Love Story of Japan
A daughter of Hatamoto (high-ranked soldier) Otsuyu (Akiko Kana) and a Ronin living in Choya (cheap apartment) Shinzaburo Hagihara (Yoichi Hayashi) fell in love with each other. They could not see each other for a while, but Otsuyu visited Shinzaburo's place late at night, led by a servant Oyone (Shoko Yagi). Tomorrow night and next night as well.
Directed by Umeo Minamino, A Ghost Love Story of Japan leans on a strong ensemble — Moeko Ezawa, Yoichi Hayashi, Midori Hiro — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1982.
