- AnecdotesThe four vignettes were chosen to represent the four seasons of the year.
- GaffesIn the segment "Miminashi Hôichi no hanashi", Donkai says he covered all of Hôichi's body with the sacred writing, but when Hôichi is writhing on the floor after the ghost's attack, his thighs (which in the shots were supposed to be covered by his robe) are visible for a couple of seconds and are clearly unmarked.

Hoichi (segment "Miminashi Hôichi no hanashi"): As long as I live, I'll continue to play the biwa. I'll play with all my soul to mourn those thousands of spirits who burn with bitter hatred.

Commentaire à la une
Over a time span of some 35 years, I saw Kwaidan twice on the large screen. I liked it the very first time, and it got better when I saw it the second time.
From the very opening when credits were introduced, color ink drops penetrating clear water generated an extremely soothing visual effect. The execution was low-tech, but it goes to show the power of human creativity before the age of fast computer chips. This opening also sets the tone of what you are about to get into - a film of great visual beauty, a film that requires a relaxed and unrushed mental frame of mind to appreciate.
It consists of four stories, all about ghosts, spirits and a blood-sucking woman in white. Some stories are better than the others, and my favourite is 'Hoichi the Earless', which also has the longest running time. It is about escapism, tales of morals, and cinema at its best.
