Brave Records of the Sanada Clan (Japanese Film Screening)
CJS Summer Film Series
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Directed by Tai Kato, 1963, 90 min.
In a comedic and fantastical style, the legendary folklore characters of Sasuke Sarutobi and the Sanada Ten Braves are portrayed in the historical siege of Osaka Castle in 1615, Edo Period Japan. These famed ninjas who were rumored to have served Sanada Yukimura in defending the Toyotomi clan against the Tokugawa shogunate, instead serve to impart a satirical tone and social commentary on the student movements in Japan of the early 1960s.
