Mizoguchi’s 30th film is the earliest surviving example of his work, and his only film of the 1920s to survive complete.

Produced by the Ministry of Education, the film has a simplistic lesson-plan at its heart, but what lingers in the mind after viewing are its more ineffable qualities: The dulcet, lyric, evocation of a disappeared rural past.
