Kōzaburō Yoshimura: Tides of Emotion
December 5 - 11, 2025
Arguably Yoshimura’s masterpiece, this delicate, dimensional melodrama is a deeply moving chronicle of a woman confronting her own values in a rapidly modernizing Japan—a feast for both the eyes and the emotions.
Arguably Kōzaburō Yoshimura’s masterpiece, this delicate, dimensional melodrama—lensed in resplendent color by Kazuo Miyagawa—tracks the overheated affair between a kimono designer and a married entomologist in postwar Kyoto. A feast for both the eyes (the protagonist’s workshop abounds with artisanal silken wares) and the emotions, Undercurrent is a deeply moving, gleefully overwrought chronicle of a woman confronting her own old-school values in a rapidly modernizing, socially fluid Japan. 4K digital restoration by Kadokawa Corporation; courtesy of Janus Films.
