HIDEO KOJIMA ON "ONIBABA": "I WATCHED THIS AT NIGHT AS A KID AND IT SHOCKED ME."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on 1968 Czech movie poster for Japanese director Kaneto Shindo's acclaimed 1964 folktale-inspired horror film "Onibaba." Artwork by Hermina Melicharova.

EXTRA INFO: A shot of Mexican film director/writer/producer Guillermo Del Toro & video game designer/auteur Hideo Kojima at the D.I.C.E. Summit 2016 & 19th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards, Las Vegas, NV, and concept art for the kaiju nicknamed "Onibaba" for 2013's "Pacific Rim," artwork by Kevin Thompson.

"Again, I watched this at night as a kid and it shocked me," he said, before he recalled discussing Kaneto Shindo's folk-horror set in medieval Japan with Guillermo Del Toro when they met for the first time. He added, "He loves this film as well. There's a monster called Onibaba in "Pacific Rim.""

Namanari, Hannya and Ja, three stages of spirit possession, usually because of grief or jealousy, as depicted in Noh theatre.

Few of my favorite classical theatre pieces that I think suits the spooky season 👀:

- The Rite of Spring (1913)

- Hanjo + Aoinoue (14-15th century)

Mochizuki 1870s

The Noh play Mochizuki (望月) is an action-packed tale of murder and retribution. Tomofusa joins forces with the wife and young son of his slain former master to take their revenge on his killer, Mochizuki. Disguised as a lion dancer Tomofusa expertly performs the celebratory dance, as the tension builds to a bloody climax.

Handwritten caption “Japan: Figuren aus einem historischen Schauspiele (Mochisuki)”. Japan: figures from a historical spectacle (Mochizuki). Very faintly in the bottom left-hand corner is written “No. 404”.

thinking about kieran again... particularly about how i feel like he struggles with a weak sense of self and how him identifying so heavily with ogrepon, (or at least the version of ogrepon he originally knew,) probably helped him stabilize how he saw himself, only to have something he considered so core to his identity essentially ripped away from him. not only that, it was by someone he seemingly wanted to trust and open up to, (which i doubt he does very often.)

i definitely think that the way he's handling things is far from healthy, but i can get why he'd have such an intense reaction to losing something that was so important to him and basically being betrayed by someone he wanted to consider a friend.

Shakkyo - Noh

Paul Binnie - 1997

This is the only print of Noh in this group of Kabuki woodblocks and is done in a "Sosaku-hanga" or creative print style identified by "drawing" straight onto the block with a chisel.

"Shakkyo" means a stone bridge, and refers to the bridge to heaven guarded by Shishi, or mythological, lions.

The mask, shishiguchi, is gilded while the wig is red and made of yaks' hair.
