Akihiro Miwa One could truly call him a living historical figure—or perhaps even a real-life yokai. ☺️ After all, his circle of acquaintances included none other than Yukio Mishima, Edogawa Rampo, and Toshiro Mifune.
In an era when discrimination was far more severe than it is today, he carried himself with dignity, facing forward with confidence. Armed with beauty, intellect, and wit, he lived authentically and fearlessly. There is no better word to describe him than simply—magnificent.
I purchased the DVD the previous year and saved it to watch during the New Year, as if making a ceremonial visit to a shrine.💿 I truly believe that not only those who watch the film, but even those who merely read about it, will receive a touch of its blessing.
