This film is one of many collaborations between Kawada Yoshiko, who grew up as a stage actress under the tutelage of “Japan’s first actress,” Kawakami Sadayakko, and became Shochiku Kinema’s first actress when she appeared in the company’s first film, “Island Woman” (1920), and Moroguchi Juku, whose good looks earned him the nickname of a leading kabuki actor of the time, and depicts the turbulent love story between a young man whose love has been broken and a farm girl in Hokkaido.

Tokyo Cinema Shokai, known for filming the damage caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake, produced propaganda films and various other filming jobs for government agencies, public organizations, and companies, but they also actively produced and sold educational feature films by inviting feature film directors. This film, which depicts the rehabilitation of a delinquent boy, can be considered a representative educational feature film from the company. Starring Natsukawa Shizue, who was a star in Nikkatsu’s contemporary feature films before she became a star, the film is supported by actors from the Shingeki Kyokai, led by director Hatanaka Ryoha, including Izawa Ranja, who left his mark on the history of new theater from the late Taisho to early Showa periods.Read More »
