About Takamine - The Man By Which Cherry Blossoms Bloomed in America
Takamine is a biopic about Dr. Jokichi Takamine, the late biochemist known for successfully crystallizing and isolating adrenaline, which is also called epinephrine. Dubbed the father of modern biotechnology, Takamine also produced Takadiastase, a digestive enzyme still used as an ingredient in medicines. He was also enthusiastic about establishing friendly relations between Japan and the United States. He was responsible for a gift of 3,000 cherry trees in the U.S. capital, Washington D.C.
Directed by Tōru Ichikawa, Takamine - The Man By Which Cherry Blossoms Bloomed in America leans on a strong ensemble — Saburo Shinoda, Misato Tanaka, Rie Shibata — 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 history titles of 2011.
