Kwaidan (1964)

“It consists of four separate stories adapted from Lafcadio Hearn's collections of Japanese folktales, including two from his 1904 book Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things, the film's namesake. Set mostly in feudal Japan, the segments feature vengeful spirits enforcing moral retribution, while portraying the supernatural realm as largely indifferent to human suffering”. The 4 stories are supposed to represent the 4 seasons.

Content Warnings for Kwaidan (1964)

Relatively mild all around as far as our D&D nights tend to go. There’s some gore, a little bit of domestic violence, one case of groping and unwanted exposure.

Ooh, a title I'm familiar with! Though I might be doing one-on-ones around that time, so it remains to be seen whether I'll get to join. Given the length and the fact that it's an anthology (right?) probably towards the tail end if nothing else.

I've watched a few of these Japanese postwar films and they are really hard to get a handle on. Japanese film is tough in normal times (well, pre-anime explosion in the West, anyway) There was one about a yakuza gang trying to survive, saving Japanese women from beingremovedd by GIs. The one part I remember was one saying after they'd moved out of Edo up north to escape the bombing, that the most demoralizing thing he ever experienced was hearing the ripping sound of the shells overhead after the enemy fleet had arrived. US battleships started bombarding everything in range of the coat. Akira Kurosawa made films during the war supporting the war effort. They are especially hard to grok. Those pre-1945 Japanese were wildly different people.
