Kazuo Mori – Jirocho Fuji (1959)
Synopsis:
One historical yakuza boss was Jirocho of Shimizu (1820-1893), born of the merchant class. One of the earliest versions of his life to make it to the screen was in the silent era, & which still survives, was the Shimizu no Jirocho Trilogy (1927) directed by Tsuji Kichiro, & starring Kawabe Goro as Jirocho.
He is the subject of Kazuo Mori aka Issei Mori’s Jirocho fuji (Jirocho the Chivalrous, aka As the Shape of Mount Fuji is Matchless, 1959) & immediate sequel Zoku Jirocho fuji, (Jirocho the Chivalrous Continued, 1960) for Daiei Studios. It stars Kazuo Hasegawa as Jirocho, co-starring Raizo Ichikawa, Ayako Wakao, & Shintaro Katsu among the recognizable faces. The films are played at the edge of comedy, but tell action-packed stories.
In part one, Jirocho helps a young man avenge a brother’s death then must set out on the road to avoid the police. He attempts to do only good deeds, & when some members of his gang burn down the home of an innocent farmer, they fear their boss’s retribution & abandon the gang for a rival group of yakuza. In the simple language of such films, a good swordfight wherein everyone bad dies is something that can correct most injustices.
