About The 47 Loyal Ronin
An adventure film with Benshi performers. Sometimes considered the 'first Japanese feature film', it survives today as a compilation of scenes from various different 1910s adaptations totaling nearly three hours in length. The bulk of the content comes from the 1911 adaptation by legendary Japanese filmmaker Makino Shozo.
Directed by Shōzō Makino, The 47 Loyal Ronin leans on a strong ensemble — Matsunosuke Onoe, Ichinosuke Kataoka, Kitsuraku Arashi — 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 adventure titles of 1910.
