Tomei Kenshi

[Machine Translation] The second installment of the Showa-era fantasy special effects series! A cowardly and wimpy young man borrows the power of a monster to avenge his father's death in this exciting period drama! Director Yoshiyuki Kuroda is a master of special effects period drama at Daiei, having worked as special effects director for the "Daimajin" series and director of "Tokaido Haunted Road". He has put all of his skills into this film to create images that are worth seeing even for tokusatsu fans. Shokera," a monster who cooperates with the main character Sanshiro, was famously illustrated by the Edo period painter Toriyama Sekien in his "Gazu Hyakki Yagyo" ("One Hundred Demon Nights"). The yokai is a monster who sees something strange peeking through a skylight on the roof, but when he climbs up to the roof in a panic, he finds nothing there. This yokai, familiar from Kyogoku Natsuhiko's "Nuributsu no utage," is also active! Kansai comedians such as Katsura Sanshi, Yokoyama Yasushi, and Nishikawa Kiyooshi provide the supporting cast, and their original material of the time contributes to the laughs. This is the first DVD release.
