About Nihon Meisaku Kaidan Gekijō: Kaidan Botan Dōrō
Otsuyu, the daughter of a samurai, takes her life after being forced into an unwanted marriage, and her maid Omi follows her in death. Together as spirits, they visit Otsuyu’s lover, Shinzaemon. Believing Otsuyu is alive, Shinzaemon rekindles their relationship, but he soon begins to waste away. A concerned neighbor consults a doctor, who reveals that Shinzaemon is being haunted and his death is near.
Directed by Yūichi Harada, Nihon Meisaku Kaidan Gekijō: Kaidan Botan Dōrō leans on a strong ensemble — Akiko Kana, Jinya Sato, Sanji Kojima — 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 tv movie titles of 1979.
