This is the second film in the Issin Tasuke series starring Kinnosuke Nakamura. The first film was "Edo no Meibutsu Otoko Isshin Tasuke", and it became a huge hit. Kinnosuke was immediately asked to do a sequel, however, he was quite reluctant to agree. He was the type to take every role very seriously, so he was very cautious. He did, in fact, learn how to handle the fishmonger's knife, although it took a while, as they wasted 16 sea breams before he got it right. There are 5 films in the series, which proved that Kinnosuke who had grown up in the Kabuki world before moving on to the 'handsome swordsman type' in films could also be cast as 'a cheeful handsome guy who could also do comedy'. |
