Focus: Life of the common people in pre-Meiji Japan
For Week 3
There are two versions of this movie, the first one is a little less graphic and slightly older. Both tell the same basic story but there are minor differences between them. The first is more in the form of traditional story telling with some very interesting yet troubling songs. The latter is more of the modern approach of realism. Choose one and watch it and write-up your report.
