About Mother of the Red Hands
The title might sound shocking, but the red hands mean, the hands which drag fishnets. Ohama, 15 or 16 years old girl lost her family and lived alone in a fishermen's village. She is a strong-minded girl and very popular among young children. I guess that this story is one of the origins of girl's manga in the 1950s in which I belonged to the first generation of Japanese story manga.
Directed by Motoyoshi Oda, Mother of the Red Hands leans on a strong ensemble — Kimiko Sakuramachi, Heihachirō Ōkawa, Ichirō Tsukida — 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 screen titles of 1941.
