Mito Komon - The Bloody Swords

Final installment of the Okochi / Arai / Yamanaka Mito Komon series and just as good as the others (a good deal longer, as well). Again, this film like the other two is similar in tone and spirit to the Yamanaka Tange Sazen film and would appeal to fans of that film.

Mito Komon - The Secret Letter

Adaptation of the novel by Osaragi Jirō. Again scripted by the legendary Yamanaka Sadao

Mito Kômon: Rai Kunitsugu no maki

Adaptation of the novel by Osaragi Jirō.
