Curiosità

The Ghost of Yotsuya is a 1959 Japanese horror film directed by Kenji Misumi. It is one of the many pieces of Japanese media that adapts the kabuki play Yotsuya Kaidan, including a twin release with a Shintoho film of the same name released in 1959.

Production

The film is one of the first color films produced in Japan. It was filmed with Fujicolor and DaieiScope at Daiei-Kyoto Studios in Kyoto, Japan.

Kazuo Hasegawa was seen as an odd casting choice for the role of Iemon, who the original play depicts as villainous. Misumi's adaptation, however, sees Iemon as a sort of tragic hero, justifying the casting.
