Кинолента является уже не первой экранизацией одноимённого романа Тосона Симадзаки (1872—1943), который впервые был издан в 1904—1905 годах и принес ему национальную славу. У фильма несколько премий «Майнити» и «Голубая лента», а также номинация на кинопремию «Кинэма Дзюмпо». (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
