Summary:Unscrupulous ronin Tamiya Iemon lies and kills to obtain the woman and future he desires, all the while feigning to be an upright and noble samurai. But when he causes the painful and sorrowful death of his once beloved wife Oiwa, her ghost vows justice and vengeance.Background:The tale of Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan is ancient indeed. First written down by Tsuruya Nanboku in 1825, the story has held a central and hallowed place in Japan's collection of traditional Kaidan. The story itself is likely much older than Tsuruya's text, taking place in the early Edo/Tokugaawa Era. Oiwa, the woman whose vengeful ghost is at the heart of this tale is believed to be buried at Myogyo Temple in Tokyo. The date of her death is recorded as 1636.format: avisize: 698mbssubtitles: portuguese, englishDirected by Nobuo NakagawaProduced by Mitsugu OkuraWritten by Masayoshi ?uki (screenplay)Yoshihiro Ishikawa (screenplay)Nanboku Tsuruya (play)Starring Shigeru AmachiMusic by Michiaki WatanabeCinematography Tadashi NishimotoThis is one of Japans most famous ghost stories and considered the finest on screen production of the same. Arguably the most famous Japanese ghost story of all time, it has been adapted for film over 30 times, and continues to be an influence on Japanese horror today. Several productions of Yotsuya Kaidan, including television and movie adaptations, have reported mysterious accidents, injuries and even deaths. Prior to staging an adaptation of Yotsuya Kaidan it is now a tradition for the principal actors and the director to make a pilgrimage to Oiwa's grave and ask her permission and blessing for their production. This is considered especially important of the actor assuming the role of Oiwa.As always I can only share technical information if I have it to share which in this case I do not. Credit goes to the original uploader...whoever he or she may be. This is not a well seeded torrent but that often happens with older movies but this is a guaranteed classic and it is seeded at the moment.
