Bamboo Doll of Echizen (1963) is a gripping melodrama adapted from a novel by renowned author Tsutomu Mizukami, whose works have inspired notable directors such as Tadashi Imai and Masahiro Shinoda. The story revolves around a young artisan who specializes in crafting bamboo dolls and takes his father's prostitute as his wife. Despite its atypical emotional tone for director Yoshimura, the film is visually striking with its stark black and white cinematography. The lead performance by Ayako Wakao is particularly noteworthy, adding depth and complexity to the narrative.
