Director Masaki Kobayashi invested five years of preparation before shooting this anthological adaptation of four tales of the supernatural by Lafcadio Hearn. The first, "Black Hair," stars Rentaro Mikuni as a poverty-stricken samurai who leaves his kind wife (Michiyo Aratama) to marry the daughter (Misako Watanabe) of a wealthy official. After years of misery with this woman he returns to his first wife to find a bitter surprise. In the second, "The Woman of the Snow," a woodcutter (Tatsuya Nakadai) and his brother take shelter from a snowstorm in a deserted hut. However, trouble arises when a strange woman (Keiko Kishi) appears. The third, "Hoichi the Earless," features a blind temple musician (Katsuo Nakamura), who is known for his mastery of the ballad of the Heike clan. A samurai ghost bids him sing the ballad at the Heike tomb, and Buddhist priests protect him by painting his body with a depiction of the sacred text. In the last tale, "In a Cup of Tea," a samurai (Kanemon Nakamura) famed for courage, has a recurring vision of the face of another samurai in his tea. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

englanti Black Hair and The Woman of the Snow seem as if they were simply Asian versions of Anderson’s fairytales. Too bad that both seem to be only good prologs to much more extensive (and more interesting) material because when it eventually gets to the most interesting phase, it’s over. The third kaidan, Hoichi the Earless has the exact opposite problem: despite not being particularly enthralling, it was the longest. A shorter and harder hitting presentation would have suited it better. And so only In a Cup of Tea, aka forerunner to all those Japanese shock movies, works as it should. But even so, none of the kaidans are bad, but none of them can be described as a gem. Much is saved by the “squeaky" sound effects and the beautiful interior production design, like straight out of a Hammer studio. P.S.: I really must get a copy of Hearn’s “Kwaidan" - shame it’s impossible to find it in any second-hand bookshops. ()
