《Synopsis & Story》

Haru Kuru Oni / Original Story: Suchi Toppei. Screenplay: Kikushima Ryuzo. Art Director: Muraki Yoshishiro. Music: Sato Masaru. Director: Kobayashi Asahi. This is the directorial debut of Kobayashi Asahi, produced with the participation of Akira Kurosawa's crew, a legendary romance. Featuring guest appearances by Toshiro Mifune, Hajime Hana, Keiko Tsushima, and others. Set in a medieval fishing village in a region known as Oni no Misaki (Demon's Cape), it depicts the friction and trials between a runaway young couple and the indigenous people. They are subjected to three trials. The first is to jump into the sea from the tip of the cape and retrieve a stone from the seabed. The second is to spend time in a corpse storage area teeming with leeches until the next full moon. The third is to row out into a stormy sea and catch enough fish to fill a small boat. The man, Saburoshi, completes all the harsh trials. However, the village elder refuses to acknowledge him. A mysterious illness called Jabi begins to spread through the village. To break the cursed bloodline, they had to have a child with a woman from another land. Banba (Keiko Tsushima) was also a woman brought from the northern shore. The village elder (Sakae Takita) entrusts the future of the cape to Saburoshi, Yuno, and the old man Kukku-ne (Toshiro Mifune), ordering them to throw themselves into the sea.
