阿部一族

阿部一族 (1938)

“19 vassals of Lord Hosokawa ask permission to commit harakiri with him, as a demonstration of their loyalty. Only Yaichiemon Abe is refused permission, forced instead into the vassalage of his lord’s successor. Humiliated and derided, Yaichiemon eventually commits harakiri without permission. His eldest son is then punished for Yaichiemon’s suicide, and when he resists, is sentenced to death. The entire Abe clan rebels upon the son’s execution, and the clan is annihilated.” --Alan Poul, Japan Society

Production

The film is an adaptation of the 1913 short story "Abe ichizoku" by Mori Ōgai (translated into English under the titles The Abe Family as well as The Abe Clan), which was inspired by the junshi loyalty suicides committed by the Russo-Japanese War hero General Nogi Maresuke and his wife on the day of the funeral of Emperor Meiji. The same story was again adapted into a television film in 1995 directed by Kinji Fukasaku.
