Machiko Kyo in Gate of Hell (Teinosuke Kinugasa, 1953) Cast: Kazuo Hasegawa, Machiko Kyo, Isao Yamagata, Yataro Kurokawa, Kotaro Bando, Jun Tazaki, Koreya Senda. Screenplay: Teinosuke Kinugasa, Masaichi Nagata, based on a play by Kan Kikuchi. Cinematography: Kohei Sugiyama. Production design: Hiroshi Ozawa. Film editing: Shigeo Nishida. Music: Yasushi Akutagawa. Can a movie be too stylish for its own good? As Pauline Kael says of Gate of Hell, "It's as if the director, Teinosuke Kinugasa, had read those critics who compare every Japanese movie to a Japanese print and had decided to give them more pictorial effects than they could handle -- delicately choreographed battles, the flow and texture of garments, and everywhere the grace of movement and composition." What gets lost in Gate of Hell is the simple dignity of its story about a wife who sacrifices herself for her husband's sake. The film won an Oscar* for costume design, and it certainly deserved it. But when the eye is continually caught by the color and texture of surfaces, the film risks being superficial. Fortunately, the wife, Kesa, is played by the superb Machiko Kyo, who makes the character into more than a mannequin for exquisite robes. *The award was presented to Sanzo Wada, whereas the credited costume design is Shima Yoshizane. I haven't been able to discover whether Sanzo Wada is the same person as the credited "color consultant" for the film, Mitsuzo Wada, but Sanzo was a noted designer and the author of the six-volume Dictionary of Color Combinations, so it seems likely.

Witch Hat Atelier Takes Home Best Manga Honors at Harvey Awards

  Last month kicked off with the announcement of a bunch of manga titles in the running for the Best Manga category in this year's Harvey Awards. The official awards ceremony is set for later this week, but the winners have been announced ahead of the event, and Kamome Shirahama's Witch Hat Atelier took home the award for Best Manga. 

  Other manga that were in the running include H.P. Lovecraft’s At Mountains of Madness by Gou Tanabe, The Man Without Talent by Yoshiharu Tsuge, The Poe Clan by Moto Hagio, and The Way of the Househusband by Kousuke Oono.

  Kodansha Comics publishes Witch Hat Atelier in English and describes it like so: 

  In a world where everyone takes wonders like magic spells and dragons for granted, Coco is a girl with a simple dream: she wants to be a witch. But everybody knows magicians are born, not made, and Coco was not born with a gift for magic. Resigned to her un-magical life, Coco is about to give up on her dream to become a witch … until the day she meets Qifrey, a mysterious, traveling magician. After secretly seeing Qifrey perform magic in a way she’s never seen before, Coco soon learns what everybody “knows” might not be the truth, and discovers that her magical dream may not be as far away as it may seem …

    Dragon Hoops by Gene Luen Yang took home Book of the Year, and the Matt Bors-edited The Nib won Digital Book of the Year. Other winners include Gene Luen Yang and Gurihiru's Superman Smashes the Klan for Best Children or Young Adult Book, Keum Suk Gendry-Kim's Grass for Best International Book, and HBO's Watchmen for Best Adaptation from a Comic Book/Graphic Novel. 

  Prior to this year, manga nominations were presented in the now defunct category of Best American Edition of Foreign Material. Previous winners of the Best Manga category include Kabi Nagata's My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness in 2018 and Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia in 2019.

Musical Touken Ranbu Spring 2023 has a name

We finally have a name for the new stage

花影ゆれる砥水

Hanakage yureru tomizu

I don't have the knowledgeto translate the title but the name of the humans have been revealed :

Mitsuru will be playing Honami Kotoku. In history he is known to be a sword appraiser/inscriptor/ polisher from a pretty well known familly that appraised or inscribed many of our boys

Yasuto Kosuda will be playing toyotomi hideyoshi

and our dear ex-ensemble will be playing a character named Kage

So for now our best and most credible theme is going to be around the worth of a sword !

speaking of swords we have new more complete visuals :

Let's be honnest i am ready to see the stream of the first day on dmm and then in person.

STARDOM 2/1/2022 Results: High Speed Title Match, Prominence Invades Again, Cinderella Journey Matches Set; NJPW Ring Announcer Kimihiko Ozaki Retires, NJoA Announce Chicago Area Debut 4/16/2022

STARDOM

STARDOM was at Tokyo Korakuen Hall on Tuesday, a show which is now on tape-delay on STARDOM World.

New Year Stars 2022 Night 4 - 2/1/2022, Tokyo Korakuen Hall

Saki Kashima [Oedo Tai] d. Hanan [STARS] (Kishikaisei, 8:26)

Mayu Iwatani, Hazuki, Koguma & Momo Kohgo [STARS] d. Utami Hayashishita, Saya Kamitani, AZM & Lady C [Queen’s Quest] (Koguma > C, Superfly Splash, 11:05)

Mina Shirakawa & Unagi Sayaka [Cosmic Angels] d. Giulia & Thekla [Donna del Mondo] (Mina > Thekla, Glamorous Collection Mina, 12:52)

Syuri, Himeka, Maika & MIRAI [Donna del Mondo] d. Momo Watanabe, Rina, Ruaka & Fukigen Death [Oedo Tai] (Himeka > Rina, JP Coaster, 14:43)

High Speed Championship: Starlight Kid [Oedo Tai] © TLD Natsupoi [Donna del Mondo] (30:00) - Starlight Kid retains on 5th defense

AZM challenged Starlight Kid post-main, which she accepted. That will now be part of the next big STARDOM card, Cinderella Journey on 2/23/2022 from Nagaoka. Also on the card will be Hazuki & Koguma defending the Gossesses of Stardom belts after Mina Shirakawa & Unagi Sayaka challenged after their victory today. Saya Kamitani will defend the Wonder of Stardom title against Natsupoi there too. A press conference is supposed to be held this morning about the event at STARDOM’s official YouTube channel.

Prominence invaded STARDOM once more today, challenging Donna del Mondo after the semi-main, with a pull-apart brawl. The next Korakuen Hall show will now have Syuri & Thekla against Risa Sera & Akane Fujita on the card.

The opener was interesting, given Hanan has a title, and a challenger for said title already. Maybe there will be another title challenge if Hanah beats Momo Kohgo.

New Japan Pro Wrestling

So it completely passed me by that Kimihiko Ozaki, the long-time dapper looking ring announcer with The Hair, has now retired from NJPW. Makoto Abe has been the lead ring announcer for a few years now, with Ozaki transitioning out on the undercard. Now he’s left the company. Best wishes to him, he had a great voice and cadence.

NJoA made their big announcement on Monday: Windy City Riot, NJoA’s first-ever show in Chicago (well, Villa Park), happening on 4/16/2022. Since this is a Saturday date, I’m guessing this will be on NJPWWorld live. So far the only Japanese talents announced have been Tomohiro Ishii and Yuji Nagata, so this will very definitely be a NJPW Strong-oriented event. Brody King is announced, so evidently despite now being All Elite and a King Of The Black Throne, he’s still working NJoA dates. Tickets go on sale tomorrow (Friday 2/4/2022) at noon CST.

Other News

BJW continued Ikkitousen Strong Climb at Tokyo Korakuen Hall yesterday, with Daisuke Sekimoto winning in under three minutes by countout against Yuya Aoki to go top of Block B with 8 points. In A Block, Takuya Nomura beat Yasufumi Nakanoue. Hideyoshi Kamitani was in a barbed wire board tag deathmatch on this show too.

Tenryu Project ran on Tuesday at Tokyo Shinkiba 1st-RING, crowning the 19th Tenryu Project Six Man Tag Team champions (a title that was used way back in WAR as well). Kenichiro Arai, Kohei Sato & Masayuki Kono beat Keita Yano, Shota & TORU in a Best Two Out Of Three Falls match to win the titles that had been vacant since 11/15/2015. This title being vacant for many years is not an uncommon occurrence.

FREEDOMS ran earlier today too from Korakuen Hall.

Lots happening this weekend. NJPW returns to action at last on Sunday, as does their Bushiroad sister company STARDOM. Dragon Gate begin Truth Gate 2022 with a show from Korakuen Hall featuring an Open The Dream Gate title match on Friday that will be live on Dragon Gate Network, then go on to Shizuoka on Saturday and Toyama on Sunday. DDT run two shows Saturday. AJPW begins the Excite Series 2022 tour on Saturday as well.

Kinuyo Tanaka and Sanae Takasugi in Women of the Night (Kenji Mizoguchi, 1948) Cast: Kinuyo Tanaka, Sanae Takasugi, Tomie Tsunoda, Mitsuo Nagata. Screenplay: Yoshikata Yoda, based on a novel by Eijiro Hisaita. Cinematography: Kohei Sugiyama. Production design: Hiroshi Mizutani. Film editing: Tatsuko Sakane. Music: Hisato Osawa. Rougher and less polished than Kenji Mizoguchi's prewar films and the masterpieces -- The Life of Oharu (1952), Ugetsu (1953), and Sansho the Bailiff (1954) --  that would follow, Women of the Night is one of his harshest and most unforgiving works, with several breathtakingly raw moments. It begins in the aftermath of the war, with Fusako (Kinuyo Tanaka) struggling to get by: Her husband is still missing and their small child is dangerously ill. A woman to whom she tries to sell some spare items of clothing hints that her best option is to sell herself, an idea that she rejects in shock. She then learns that her husband has died, and the opening sequence ends with the sick child going into convulsions. There's a remarkable jump cut at this point, and we see Fusako somewhat better dressed and learn that the child has died, but she has gone to work for her husband's former boss, Kuriyama (Mitsuo Nagata). By accident she also meets her sister, Natsuko (Sanae Takasugi), whom she has not seen since the war, when Natsuko and their parents were in Korea. Natsuko is working as a "dance hostess," and when Fusako introduces her to her teenage sister-in-law, Kumiko (Tomie Tsunoda), the girl is taken with what sounds like a glamorous job. Fusako and Natsuko move in together, but Fusako has been cultivating a profitable illicit relationship with Kuriyama, and one day she arrives home early to find that Natsuko is also sleeping with him. Furious, Fusako finds the old woman who had suggested that she become a sex worker and takes her revenge on her sister and her boss by becoming a streetwalker. Meanwhile, Kumiko runs away from home and she, too, winds up prostituting herself. Eventually, the three women find one another and struggle to get out of the destructive cycle into which they have been drawn. The story is highlighted by a couple of remarkable scenes: In the first of them, the naive Kumiko encounters a street hustler who belongs to a gang of young thugs; after raping her, he sics the girls in the gang onto Kumiko, who strip her and then make her one of them. Later, Fusako discovers that Kumiko has become a prostitute, but when she tries to get the girl to an organization that tries to rehabilitate prostitutes she is set upon and severely beaten by a gang of streetwalkers who oppose the reformists. Mizoguchi stages these violent scenes with brutal clarity. Unfortunately, Women of the Night ends with a somewhat sentimental scene in the ruins of a church whose stained-glass window of the Madonna and child seem somehow to have escaped breakage. Even Mizoguchi later felt inclined to apologize for the film, particularly for what he felt was its dominant note of anger. But as a story about the predicament of women, it's still a fascinating postwar complement to his more finished 1936 films Osaka Elegy and Sisters of the Gion.
