With the recent success in the genre of samurai film remaking, it seems timely to revive a forgotten master of the samurai
films from early Japanese cinema.
Tange Sazen: Hyakuman Ryo no Tsubo is a remake of a classic 1935 film of the same
name by Sadao Yamanaka. Tange Sazen, the one-armed, one-eyed, ex-samurai swordsman is the creation of Fubo Hayashi, and was
one of the most popular characters of the era. This remake is helmed by freshman director Toshio Tsuda, starring Etsushi Toyokawa
as Sazen and Emi Wakui as Ofuji, his quick-witted wife. This marks the 34th film in the series of Tange Sazen, and this comedy
of errors involves an urn that is worth a million ryo!
With a witty script that combines Hollywood style storytelling with classical Japanese humor, it is a treat for film fans
that Tange Sazen has finally returned to our big screens!
